I found this game after discovering Pirate Soft. I think this guy is incredibly wise. He said that despite the game being only an hour and a half long. Costs $10. He still loved this game to death. I immediately impulse purchased the game and played through it.

And yes, this game is 10$. And yes, this game is a walking simulator. And yes, this game is only an hour and a half long.

And yes, I still recommend it.

Когда я был ещё совсем маленьким я завёл себе тетрадку, в которой писал свои мысли, мечты, фантазии и так далее. И вот, однажды, эту тетрадку нашла моя бабушка. И вместо того, чтоб положить её на место, поняв, что это личное, она её всю прочитала. Но она не остановилась на этом, она взяла ручку и исправила в ней все грамматические ошибки. Когда я спросил её почему она так поступила, она вместо объяснения стала с абсолютно спокойным видом разъяснять мне что писать надо грамотно, правильно, а в том что она так поступила нет ничего предосудительного...
С тех пор прошло более двадцати лет, и за всю свою жизнь я больше никогда не создал ничего, что было бы на 100% искренним, я больше не был абсолютно искренним ни с одним человеком, часть меня навсегда остаётся закрытой, не высказанной. Все дневники, рисунки, фотографии, музыка, всё, что я создавал по пути своей жизни я всегда делал с оглядкой на то, что кто-то это найдёт, будет оценивать, изменять, корректировать, пятнать...

И вот, однажды, я купил эту игру.
Дэйви и Кода.
Дэйви, который знает "как правильно", "как должно быть", "как у всех".
И Кода, у которого были свои мысли, жизнь, свой внутренний мир. Человек, который жил достаточно замкнуто, чтоб сохранить себя. Человек, который выражал себя через создание небольших игр. Человек, который перестал делать игры...

Многие ищут в этой игре скрытый смысл, философию. Для меня это драма о взаимодействии индивидуальности и общепринятых социумом норм, стандартов, ожиданий. Драма о взаимоотношении людей. Что бы ни говорил Дэйви, для него было гораздо важнее подогнать Коду под привычные рамки и показать ему, что это хорошо, правильно, нежели попытаться по-настоящему понять его...

p.s. Моя бабушка умерла за два года до выхода этой игры. Саму игру я прошёл только сейчас, спустя четыре года после её выхода.
И я больше не веду дневников и не могу создать чего-либо по-настоящему искреннего.

Ах да, вот он "гид для начинающих": Либо делайте ("творите") как от вас ожидают согласно общепринятым стандартам и попутно отращивайте достаточную "толстокожесть", чтоб не переживать из-за определённой доли критики, либо... будем честными, невозможно стать настолько "толстокожим", чтоб полностью открывшись, пустив в свой мир других не пораниться от того, что эти другие попытаются сделать с тобой.

I finished this game about an hour ago and I still feel a mix of being both emotionally charged and emotionally drained. If you like games that make you feel something, then you will like this. Don't look up anything more about the game until you have finished it. You need to experience it as something completely new and unknown. It will only take you about an hour and a half to complete, but I have a feeling it will stay with you indefinitely, so I don't consider it a short game for that reason.

It's very different from the Stanley Parable, but if I didn't know it was made by the same person, I would've linked back to it. There is a similar feeling of unease to both games. Sort of like an outer body experience. But where the Stanley Parable has a lot of humour and light heartedness, the Beginner's Guide feels intensly sad and desperate. And it really did make me feel that way. There were parts of the game that made me want to throw up, and other parts which I played with a constant stream of tears on my face. It was a solid visual interpretation of anxiety and depression.

Don't go into this game expecting the Stanley Parable 2. I think that's where a lot of the negative reviews come from. This game has one ending, and there aren't places where you can change things or veer off track. If the game tells you to do something, it won't progress until you do the thing. And it's more like an ineractive movie than a game. You are simply listening to a story while you walk around the scenery. There will be people who won't like the game for that reason. And there are other people who will find it hugely effective and immersive, as I did.

If you have finished it, here is my interpretation. (And please please please only read this if you have finished playing.)

Coda and Davey are the same person. The game is about a lonely man talking to himself. Davey is struggling with the fact that he's too afraid and anxious to show his work to people, but at the same time he needs validation, attention, and to be loved and understood. He's trying to understand himself through his creations, and he's trying to figure out if other people will see who he really is through his work. But he is wrestling with his own anxiety, which causes him to cut himself off and leaves him with only himself to talk to.

Ultimately it's about the things that we all create. Whether it's games, drawings, writing, food. Or even our friendships, relationships, conversations, our existence and place within the world. We are all creating all the time, tangible things like art, and abstract things like thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Do we hide these things from people because we are anxious they won't like us. Do we share them with people because we need to be understood, and does this cause us to share too much. Do we only create things to understand ourselves. Will that even help us to know ourselves if we aren't showing them to other people? A one way conversation can only go so far, afterall.

In the end Davey has realised that he wants to experience the world with others instead of alone. He is sharing his various creations and has even provided an email address at the start to invite discussion. His games that once involved conversations by himself have now been opened up. We provide the answers to the qustions that are asked. We read the notes that he wrote, imagining no one would ever see them.

I'm still undecided if the ending is happy. I don't know if he is only showing the games because he is desperate for validation. Or if it's because he has decided we are all better when we open up, and share our creations, our thoughts, and parts of ourselves. He doesn't seem to be at peace with himself in the end. But what's clear is that he has overcome a huge amount of anxiety.


That's my take on the game. Everyone else's interpretation might be very different, but I think that's partly the point of it. It was a very charged insight into the human condition, and I loved it. I would love to hear other people's interpretations too.

I just finished my first play through of this game. I'm having some trouble coming up with what to say about it. Let's go ahead and look at things I felt during this game, because I think that's the kind of game this is. It's out there to make you feel something.

I felt curious, intrigued, puzzled, confused, worried, guilty, nauseous, desperately lonely, depressed... I felt unreachable.

For someone who struggles with depression and social anxiety this game really hit me hard. I'm uncomfortable. I want to cry. The level in which you back away from the stage.... and the floating island... and taking shots at the machine... This game has the ability to move you to your core. I've never worried about "triggers", but if I did... I'd put labels all over this one.

Most of all I feel like... I'm glad I've played it. Not many things in this format can stir such an intense emotional reaction. It's almost the feeling I get after finishing a really good book. It's an emotional hangover of sorts. I'm going to go take a bath, get some hot chocolate and a blanket... and cry. I'm going to wallow in my loneliness for a while because the sadness provide a beautiful striking contrast to my good days.

So, I think a lot of people would be going in and expecting the Stanley Parable- which is fair, I guess. But if you haven’t watched the trailer – don’t watch it, just buy it, and remove any expectations you have!). If you are a creator of *anything*, you should play this game. If you still want to know if the game is worth getting, here’s my experience with playing it:

I first played it in an empty office at 3am, I... usually get in the office when everyone is leaving and leave when everyone arrives the next morning. I’m bad at people sometimes. When I downloaded it - I don’t really know what I was expecting, but I decided to have a doodle pad next to me

I started off by writing about the game, and then a portrait of the person described, and then about myself... The cute imagery on the notes soon turned to darker scribbles and tearstained mush. I don’t know any media that’s ever made me feel this way. The last time I cried this much was when my dog (and best friend) was to be put down.

Alone, in an office, 4am, listening to the ending song on repeat, uncontrollably sobbing. For a place that I felt the most alone- I suddenly didn’t feel that way anymore. These however, were not sad tears.

Fast forward 2 months to remote Sweden. I met an amazing developer, who we shared similar thoughts, feelings and origin stories about game / solo development. I forgot why, but we were talking about creative anxiety, and showing people our games. On the spur of the moment I said “I need to show you this game, you will understand it”. I had longed for someone I could talk about this game with, (and I felt guilty fanning to the developer about their own work), and, weirdly enough it was an empty office at 3am – in the woods, but it was just the two of us. Alone together.

What came after was what seemed like the longest hug. The morning sun started filling up the room, and it was just the two of us just sobbing, paralyzed by emotion. It’s hard to describe such an intimate moment, but seeing a person cry like you cried a couple of months earlier is surreal. I don’t have a good memory, but this is one that I will remember and cherish forever.

I’ve been making games for 10 years but never released anything because I’ve been afraid of what people might think. After playing this game, I realized everything will be okay. It’s not going to be easy, but it will be okay.
And that to me is the best gift that anyone can give.
Play this game or gift it to someone special <3

“艺术家被好的作品伤害有两种方式。
其一,你会发现自己的作品没那么好。但你能从打击中恢复过来,只需记住,艺术的目的并不是比别人好,而是表现出你自己的最好水平。
其二,看到卓越的作品,可能会改变,你对‘何为艺术’的根本定义。而这个打击,你可能永远都恢复不过来。”


通关《The Stanley Parable》之后,我以为已经不会有什么游戏能让我如此震惊了。
但《The Beginner's Guide》让电子游戏带给我的震撼达到了一个前所未有的高度,我甚至对这款游戏产生了深深的敬畏。

我曾因《FEZ》的解谜、庞大的世界观而惊喜不已。
我曾被《What Remains of Edith Finch》史诗般的魔幻现实主义所深深打动。
我曾沉醉于《巫师3》的落日,《辐射4》的街道,海拉鲁平原的风。在《万众狂欢》的小镇,《Firewatch》的森林中,谦卑地讨要一些宁静。
我曾因《风之旅人》、《GRIS》中纯粹的美而泪流满面。
我曾在《NieR:Automata》简简单单的弹幕结局中泣不成声。
我去过那么多世界,看过那么多风景。
而《The Beginner's Guide》毫不费力地粉碎了我对电子游戏的认知。

《The Beginner's Guide》究竟有什么?
它的整个游戏风格让我想起了千禧年后不久的游戏,简单几何模型的拼接,暗沉的色调,粗粝的贴图,空旷的场景,朦胧的音乐。我并不讨厌,反而觉得温暖与熟悉,像是回到了最初探索电子游戏的日子,我面前有一整个全新的世界,所有的道路都是新的,都熠熠生辉。
但倘若论画面,它的确就像是实验性的作品,像是demo,像是游戏设计专业学生的毕设。
可它远不止于此。
它有一个久久地望着孤月的人的悲哀。它有一个从未有过信仰人的忠诚。它有不营字造句,不和梦交易,不被时间、欢乐和逆境触动的核心。
它有一支枪,还有一颗破碎的心。
我从未见过如此真诚的游戏。
看啊,制作者已经把自己的心挖出来,小心翼翼地放在玩家面前。他在整个游戏里,一次一次地用笨拙的双手把碎掉的自己拼起来,却仍要装作云淡风轻。他捂住了自己的嘴巴,绝望而微弱的呼救声却从指缝漏出来。

如果说《The Stanley Parable》是玩弄世界的黑色幽默,是一把击碎残酷现实的枪。
那么《The Beginner's Guide》是枪里最后一颗留给自己的子弹。
所有的对话都是与自己对话。所有的痛苦都源自于渴望被肯定的外在人格与渴望宁静的内在人格之间的厮杀。
到底是多么彻底的孤独,才能让人发出这样绝望的呼救。
我想到了门与门间的黑暗与黑雾。

即便如此,这呼救的呓语中仍富有启发性与哲思。
他仍想说什么,像是被钉上十字架的耶稣。
他只怕配不上自己所受的苦难。不该只是求救,要布道,要分开红海,血染过的地方,要长出荆棘之花。
于是我们得以窥见这伟大的艺术作品。
在2002年,Brian Moriarty在GDC上做了一个名为《The Secret of Psalm 46》的演讲,他讲道:“不久之后,甚至就在我们的有生之年,会有那么一个游戏设计,如同闪电一般照耀我们的文化,它很好辨识,它会是慷慨的、充满旺盛的创造力、令人眼花缭乱的。学者们会花上数十年,甚至数个世纪去对它进行分析。它会是美妙的,它会是令人战栗的,它会令人充满敬畏。”
我想这样的游戏已经出现了。这样的时代已经来临了。
弥赛亚主义是不现实的,救世主未曾存在。
这条路上,只有无数平凡人类的脚印。

《The Beginner's Guide》就像一面镜子。
有的人会探讨它的游戏性,有的人会探讨它的meta元素,有的人会探讨人与人之间的关系,有的人在其中解构现实,有的人分析人性。
它实在是包罗万象,以至于每个人都能在游戏中找到适合自己探讨的内容。又通过这内容,回望与审视自己。
Maybe, this is the beginner's guide to know yourself.

感谢两个小时纯粹的震撼与感动。

Holy crap.
I was not ready for this.

I got this game as part of a Humble Bundle, so I didn't pay full price.

I didn't know anything about it.

I just started it.

I have never experienced something similar.
It feels like being with a good friend who is showing you something.
the sound design is amazing.
and it just takes you away and you submerge completely in this wonderful peace of art.
well, and then this happens...
...
now I need to talk to somebody...

The beginner’s guide is a game that I played due to the final push of Pirate Soft. This was due to him saying that it would help you(me) get through creative burnout. I can attest that my purchase made it worse*.

Firstly, the game is quite short, around 90 minutes. I was feeling drowsy for the first 5-10 minutes but I persisted. The beginner’s guide started intriguing me as it went on. All I can say is that it’s beautiful.

The scenery of the games are what I would call art, they’re abstract but defined to the extent that I started to appreciate creation for what it’s for. I’ve dabbled in many art forms, but currently the focus is writing.

The review you’re reading right now is a testament to that goal. I will say that when I purchased this game I put it off for 1-2 weeks. Since I thought it would really cure my burnout or frustration with creating. I gave it way too much importance. A friend of mine, Nhovah, helped me realize this. which made me go through it without the idea that it might or not be true.

I’ve been frustrated with myself due to my inability to write a proper long-form story. specifically a fanfic.

The doubt of wondering if I’m really writing it for other’s validation or mine, because I should just love myself, my voice matters the most I thought. This conundrum really shook me into a paralysis.

I’ve talked to my teachers, and friends. I realized that I shouldn’t beat myself up for a blunder or low point, they brought this into my attention by denoting how hard I was on myself. And perhaps relaxing on that front. In the end learning that I was bottling these thoughts that should’ve been expressed.

Finishing the game I gave myself some time to process the story while reading other’s reviews, guides, etc. Equivocally this game has not given me the cure I was promised, but an added welcomed perspective. I was still scared of writing something, anything, sadly.

I realized that this is a part of the process or a low-point where I was still recovering.

Now I can confidently say that this game isn’t for everyone nor should you expect it to perform a miracle for you. Basically it’s not a replacement. You’ll have to be the captain of your own ship, it cannot replace you at the helm since you sometimes are the one who needs to deal with situations firsthand and gain wisdom through them. Although there’s nothing wrong with relying on someone to steer you right.

Note that I encourage you to interpret the story for yourself, preferably my review serving as a guide.

I'd say writing this review was for my personal enjoyment. Sharing it with all of you is my way to document it and maybe encourage some people to check it out for themselves.



Addendum:

I have to give my thanks to a certain game, Limbus Company, specifically the chapter called Canto V. That’s where I got my quote of "Being the captain of your own ship and steering it". I’d recommend it wholeheartedly and a compliment to the beginner’s guide.

To add to this.
I wasn't expecting my review to garner attention. I was really doubting myself when I posted it, so thank you for reading. My friend Nhovah was amazed when he read it and that really gave me hope to continue writing.

どうもありがとうございます!

Edit 1: Added an addendum

A piece of advice from me:

After you complete all chapters, go to the options -> audio -> turn off the narration, and then try playing Coda's games again.

So far you've only seen Coda's games through Davey's eyes, but how about you make an opinion of them on your own? Don't rush it, walk around, explore and try to understand the games yourself without someone else's guidance.

This work is monumental. I didn't know what to expect when I started playing. I bought the game because I enjoyed Stanley Parable. I just bought this, without hesitation. I didn't even look at the store page untill after I finished the game. At no point during this whole thing did I know what to expect. After the end, I'm still not sure what to expect... I'm puzzled. I remember thinking that it doesn't make sense for this thing to have a pricetag. Everyone should have this, play this, experience this. But maybe not. They wouldn't get it. Not the way I do. Not in the exact way I do. I guess I don't get it. I was brought to tears by this thing. I feel like... I feel things. I'm rethinking things. This is not your everyday game experience. Maybe I'm overselling it. Maybe I shouldn't write this. Maybe I'm ruining it for someone with this. Maybe I'm being too presumptious. This.. thing. It made me rethink everything I thought I knew about making games. I so desperately want to make games. I just don't.. I haven't really looked at games from these perspectives. I dabble. But not in the ways described here. I want to know more. More about this world. The world of this person. Well done. Hats off to you. I guess I shouldn't post this, but... then again. Maybe no one will read it.

I played this game for first time when it came out and I was really disappointed. I was frustrated. I knew that the author was one of the guys that created "The Stanley Parable". So I launched the game, expecting it to be something fun, something interesting, something ...unique, just like "Stanley" was. And it wasn't. It was just ... boring. At least It's what I thought at that time. So I finished the game, deleted it and tried to forget it, strongly believing that the game is bad, that the game is simply wrong.

And now, two years later, I'm here, writing this review and thinking to myself, that the only one who was wrong all that time - it was me. I expected it to be "The Stanley Parable 2" and it wasn't. I was angry that I wasted my time wating for this game, building up my expectations, craving to play it. But now I realize that it wasn't the game's problem, it was mine. Now I think I can appreciate this game. I think I can finally say that I enjoyed this game. That it is indeed a unique game. Or perhaps it would be right to say, that it is a unique piece of art.

I don't even know why I'm writing this review. It's very likely that only a couple of people ever will get to see it. Probably I'm writing it for myself. This game just inspired me to do so.

Finalizar uma experiência com um nó na garganta, com o coração apertado e os olhos cheios de lágrima.
Não tenho palavras pra expressar o que foi isso e não acredito que ninguém vá vivenciar a mesma coisa, algumas pessoas vão entender da maneira que elas quiserem entender.

Eu poderia escrever isto em inglês, apenas pra alcançar um pouco mais de pessoas, porém sinto que foi pessoal demais pra eu não falar na minha língua nativa.


No fim eu só queria dizer uma coisa, Davey, você é uma das pessoas mais corajosas e ao mesmo tempo incríveis que eu não conheci, obrigado por compartilhar conosco Stanley Parable e principalmente, obrigado por "The Beginner's Guide"

So, I don't normally write reviews, but for this 'game', I'm going to make an exception because it seems to encourage the discussion of how one interprets it.

To begin, I have to say I was kicking myself after it ended.
I felt like I'd jumped to so many conclusions about who Coda was, only to get backhanded by The Tower.
The one thing that hit me hardest though was the message 'Stop putting lamp posts in my games.'
I just never expected the narrator to lie to me. It made me question what was genuinely Coda's work and what had been altered.

The whole thing was a real emotional ride.

As someone who loves to perform on stage, The Stage was the hardest level. I immediately looked at it from a performer perspective, rather than a gamer's perspective and I just wanted to cry.
Being told to back away from the stage and the giant steel bars coming down over and over broke my heart.

The levels regarding the machine resonated with me. I've always viewed my creative 'source' as a lone flame. Sometimes it's just a little spark and other times it's a great roaring fire that will keep me up all night as I write stories.
So I felt a mixture of sympathy and fear at these levels that tried to find the source, interrogated it, hated it, demanded it to apologise until eventually tried to kill it completely, as if removing the source of creativity would remove the frustration when the ideas wouldn't come.
I suppose it scared me a little. At the time I couldn't imagine someone so frustrated they would willfully simulate destroying their own creativity.

Of course, then I reached the end of the Tower and felt like a real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for jumping to conclusions about this person who in reality was just going through a low point and knew full well that the engine can't run at full power all the time.

Overall there's just so much to talk about.
But despite that, I guarantee that once you finish playing, you'll feel just a little bit empty inside.
For me at least, I went into this expecting a thought-provoking experience that I'd have to work hard to understand, but would eventually understand.

Instead, I feel as if I simultaneously understand it completely, and yet will never be able to understand it at all.
Because, I know someone like the Narrator; someone who needs outside validation to feel fulfilled. That, without external praise and acknowledgement, they can't function.
I can't relate to that, I struggle to understand that frame of mind. Which is funny, because the Narrator can't imagine not needing external validation.

So it dawned in me that I relate more to Coda and that's where the empty feeling starts. Because what if people interpret my work, my performances, my creativity the same way I initially viewed his?
I don't need external validation and I definitely don't need people assuming things about me based on what I've created.
And... just like Coda, I've cut people off for being overbearing and clingy. I've always been aware that it's not pleasant for the person I cut off, but I've always justified it because they're a negative presence in my life and my happiness comes first.
I never expected that doing that could have such a catastrophic effect on someone's state of mind.
Or, I dunno, perhaps I did.


Look, tl;dr this game is not really a game. It's an emotional experience that'll leave you reeling.
It's a work of art in truth and if you're into that kinda thing, this game is for you.

Resulta muy difícil hablar de The Beginner’s Guide. O más bien, hablar de lo nuevo de Davey Wreden (The Stanley Parable) es tan sencillo, da para tanta y tanta tinta virtual, que uno debe contenerse so pena de arruinarle la sorpresa a quien se acerque a él. Así que aquí me tienen, intentando hablarles de esto diciéndole a mi corazón que se relaje y a mi verborrea que descanse un ratito, yendo a lo esencial para que puedan ustedes disfrutar del viaje que van a emprender aquí.

En su capa más superficial, The Beginner’s Guide es otro paso adelante en la serie de videojuegos-ensayo en la que trabaja Davey Wreden. No es para nada un título convencional, sino que funciona como expositor de obras y biografía. Aquí encontramos el curriculum vital de un tal Coda, mientras el propio Davey se inserta a sí mismo para ejercer de narrador cuasi-omnisciente.

La narrativa de la obra va a discurrir a través de la admiración que siente el autor por su amigo, ♥♥♥ una sucesión de sus “juegos”. Empezaremos ♥♥♥ algo tan sencillo como es un escenario desértico de Counter Strike y a medida que se sofistica el manejo del motor Source asistiremos a otras cosas: laberintos, experimentos, juegos que no están diseñados para ser terminados y una plétora de obsesiones.

Por supuesto, por el camino encontramos un montón de metanarrativa. Porque al igual que The Stanley Parable, gran parte de la miga de The Beginner’s Guide está en la discusión que tiene el propio creador ♥♥♥ el jugador: cómo va dejando caer sus ideas sobre la teoría de creación de videojuegos, sobre el papel de la jugabilidad o sobre si el videojuego puede ser algo destinado al autor, sin que nadie más interactúe ♥♥♥ él.

En un principio, confieso que algunas de las conclusiones que iba esbozando Wreden me chirriaban. No tanto por lo que decía, sino por lo poco sutil que se estaba mostrando, como enseñando todo sin dejar que el jugador elaborase lo que tenía por delante.

Pero, por suerte, aquí las primeras impresiones no valen de mucho. O más bien, forman parte del juego metanarrativo que nos plantea.

Desconfía

Precisamente, esa falta de sutileza, ese querer airear lo que piensa en todo momento y por qué creer que Coda ha utilizado tal o cual recurso, es la primera capa que vamos a encontrar. Y es interesante de por sí, especialmente si uno está desarrollando videojuegos o planea meterse en ese mundo. Pero la reflexión a viva voz de Davey Wreden es otra pequeña trampa.

Porque en la segunda capa de The Beginner’s Guide es donde empieza a percibirse el valor real de la obra. Queda para atisbar ese fondo del que quiero hablaros y del que tengo que callarme continuamente para no arruinarle el disfrute a nadie, pero es aquí cuando empieza a nacer.

Como punto de inflexión, aunque se ve más a posteriori, seguramente ese primer juego que veremos cómo se modifica para poder terminarse. Algo que estaba destinado a no tener final, a no ser visto nunca, que ahora se abre para que el jugador penetre en los entresijos de Coda.

Abramos un pequeño paréntesis aquí.

No sé si fue el primero, pero a mí me gusta echarle la culpa a Freud (Psicoanálisis del Arte, 1914) de la terrible modita de sacar conclusiones sobre alguien mirando a su obra. No voy a explayarme (podría, pero esto acabaría mal), pero digamos que la (buena) evaluación psicológica requiere de herramientas verificadas, la propia entrevista ♥♥♥ la persona y una formación científica detrás. Y sin embargo, desde Freud estamos todos diciendo que tal o cual artista era maníaco-depresivo (sin que nadie se lo diagnosticara), que nosequién tenía esquizofrenia o que determinado pintor era sinestésico.

¿Por qué saco esto a colación?

Porque es parte de esa segunda capa de The Beginner’s Guide. El momento en el que el jugador y Davey empiezan a sacar conclusiones sobre el mundo interior de Coda. Y ojo, por mucho que el narrador nos enuncie sus preocupaciones y vaya desarrollando su “diagnóstico”, es inevitable que el jugador haga sus propias conjeturas.

Este juego de influencia ♥♥♥ nuestras propias percepciones va a servir como cimiento de la capa final. Hasta servidor cayó: “¿qué le pasa a este tío? ¿Será que tiene un TEA, que está deprimido?”.

Lo verdaderamente importante

Nada de eso es lo verdaderamente importante cuando lleguemos al final, claro. Todas las impresiones que nos hayamos hecho, el problema que podamos tener ♥♥♥ ese narrador que no para de insinuar y a veces no nos deja pensar… eso va a quedar dinamitado en la última parte de The Beginner’s Guide.

Porque esa tercera capa nos va a tocar a nivel emocional, indudablemente. Va a hacer que nos planteemos todo el viaje que hemos hecho, que nos preguntemos si de verdad merecía la pena pasar por él y poner a nuestra mente a revolotear y a juzgar.

He terminado de jugar a The Beginner’s Guide ♥♥♥ ese picor característico que dejan las mejores obras en los ojos. Y no precisamente por su carga de profundidad al corazón, sino por todo lo que me ha recordado.

Cuando hablé de The Stanley Parable acabé llegando a la conclusión de lo fundamental que era para todo aquél que se plantease desarrollar videojuegos. Aquí podríamos decir que The Beginner’s Guide, en su aspecto más superficial, también va para quien está entrando en el mundillo. Pero es el aspecto final el que multiplica su valor: no va ahora orientado a los creadores (en general), sino a todos nosotros. Porque habla de los juicios que hacemos, de lo mucho que nos apresuramos y del valor de la privacidad. De escuchar al otro, y de cómo disfrazamos el egoísmo de altruismo. Y caramba, lo logra.

Recenzja jest wolna od spoilerów

Jest kilka rzeczy, które powinieneś wiedzieć o TBG, zanim w nią zagrasz:

- Pomimo, iż gra reklamowana jest nazwiskiem twórcy The Stanley Parable, nie jest ani jej sequelem, ani prequelem, ani żadnym innym -quelem. Z TSP łączy ją tylko Davey Wreden, który jest tutaj dodatkowo narratorem.
- To bardziej doświadczenie niż gra. Co nie zmienia faktu, że porusza ciekawe tematy.
- Skupia się na psychologii, analizach, zostawia pole do własnej interpretacji, jednak nie jest to produkcja dla wszystkich.
- Możesz ją nazwać "symulatorem chodzenia", ale byłaby to (w moim odczuciu) obraza majestatu.
- Jako twórca gier, prawdopodobnie odebrałem TBG bardziej personalnie niż ktoś, kto w gry jedynie gra. Produkcja obraca się bowiem wokół tematyki gamedevu w dość... specyficzny sposób.
- Potrzebujesz 60-90 minut, by ją przejść. Mi zajęło ponad 120, gdyż jednocześnie nagrywałem z niej gameplay*. Czy niecałe 2h zabawy warte są 9 euro? Pewnie nie...

Na koniec, plot twist: nie polecam czytać żadnych recenzji, opinii, oglądać zwiastunów, a zamiast tego podejść do gry z otwartym umysłem. Hm, choć w sumie moją właśnie przeczytałeś. Ach, Ty rebeliancie!

Czy warto zagrać?
Jeśli lubisz krótkie gry skłaniające do własnych przemyśleń - owszem. Poczekałbym jednak na obniżkę.
Czy jest grą na raz?
Bardzo możliwe. Z własnego doświadczenia powiedzieć mogę tyle, że przejście jej po raz drugi (montaż uznaję za ten drugi raz) rzuciło mi nieco inne światło na kwestie, które wcześniej uznałem za nieistotne.

Pjona!

*Jeśli film zmontuję, znajdziesz go u mnie na kanale... jednak nie będę tutaj wrzucał linka. Z szacunku dla twórcy.

非常推荐这款游戏
36块钱毋庸置疑,绝对值这个价。
我觉得这个游戏好的地方在于,不同的人可以从中玩到不同的东西。
-尝试不要听旁白bb
-仔细观察那些字符
以下仅供参考,并含有剧透成分
这游戏和The Stanley Parable不同,The Stanley Parable中,具有选择。
相比之下,The Beginner's Guide中的选择,意义不是很大。
无论如何,你都会到达那个地方,无论你是选择1、2还是3。
从表面上来看,“孤独”这个词贯穿了整个游戏。
那么,究竟是Coda孤独,还是旁白孤独呢?
我的答案,是旁白。
旁白以帮助朋友走出自闭为由,把Coda制作的游戏全部发布给一些“他信任的人”玩。每一个人玩完都赞不绝口,但我们设想一下,这些游戏,真的是Coda的初衷吗?Coda设计出的游戏,应该都是有解的。因为在Tower一关,最后荧幕上的字,充分说明了他是一个正常人,而不是一个所谓的自闭症。一个有解的游戏,为什么会变为这样?旁白把每一个游戏变成无解,为的是什么?
那么我们再往下分析。
曾经,我看到过一篇文章。文章讲述了自闭症的特点,其中一条就是“控制欲”。控制欲是自闭症的充分体现。所以我们把这个结论放到游戏里面,旁白之所以改变这些游戏,就是因为他控制欲非常强。强烈的控制欲使他让游戏变成了一个必须跟着他走的游戏。所以说,每一个玩过Coda所制作的游戏的人,都会被旁白灌输一种“Coda是个自闭症”的思想。同样的,这个思想也在旁白的心里面存在,因为旁白在害怕,害怕他一直信奉的,Coda是自闭症是错的。然后Coda在Tower一关中,打了他的脸。123的选择,通向的却是同一个终点,真是讽刺呢。
那么,这个游戏,究竟是Coda制作的,还是旁白制作的,甚至是旁白虚构出的Coda制作的,亦或许是旁白的双重人格?
我们不得而知。

我只知道,我给了这个游戏好评。旁白利用了我。我是旁白信任的人。我满足了他的自尊心。
还是那句话,不同的人,有不同的感触。我的言论也仅供参考。如果真的想了解Coda,就自己去玩吧。

I have to say, I never, ever want to play this game again. Not because it was bad, or boring, or any of that. I'd just feel terrible. At the end, the only thing I felt was guilt for playing this. I'm not sure whether I recommend this game or not. It's such an emotional, personal game, which is great, but it's EXACTLY the reason I don't want anyone to play it.


If you have no idea what I'm saying, play the game. Seriously. Do it now.

A very touching story that's about relatability, projection, and seeing others and others seeing you.

Looking for a game? don't buy this.

Looking for a powerful experience? You won't be disappointed

Spoilers ahead-

However, something I think a lot of the negative reviews miss about the game is the focus. Wreden, the narrator, is the focus and I think when you look at it through that lens it excuses a lot of the shortcomings people accuse this game of. The game is heavily interactive and cinematic because it is thrusting you into this world as seen by Wreden. The criticism I see most commonly is that the game does not allow you to interpret anything for yourself and spoonfeeds you. But this actually makes a lot of sense. The fictional Coda and his games are secondary to Wreden's psychoanalysis of them. Wreden's flawed perspective is what this game is about in my opinion.

What I think really brings this game down is the ending. I believe the ideal conclusion of the game would have been right at the end of the tower with Coda's "confession". It is the first and only time that we hear a perspective that is different from Wresden's, and it is the most critical moment in the story. After that, no more commentary from Wresden, no "sappy" ending, nothing highly indicative of how this confession made Wresden feel. Maybe a line or two at the end of drama, or simply "I need to go think about this" would suffice. An ambiguous ending like that would have been far more compelling and climactic.

TLDR; Nothing like the Stanley Parable, If you're looking for a goofy game to make you smile, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a game you can burn through in around an hour that will just make you think about the nature of people, give it a shot.

This is a difficult game to descibe. Most of the negative reviews I've seen can be summed up with "bought it cause I liked The Stanley Parable, nothing like Stanley Parable, I hate it." So yes, if you're looking for another Stanley Parable, look elsewhere. This is an entirely different experience that is trying to convey an entirely different thing.

That is not to say that it is bad, no it's just very different. SP was a narrative driven goofy game. You were given instructions, and you obeyed or disobeyed. You made choices and listened to the narrator react to said choices. You always had junctions, forks in the road, choices to make. The fun was making a new one and seeing where it takes you, standing in a closet doing nothing for 5 minutes so you can listen to the narrator get frustrated. There is nothing like that here.

This game has an experience it wants to convey and you're along for the ride. When I finished the game, I just sat in my chair. Listening to the credit music and reading the names. I wasnt clicking or pressing enter or trying to find some way to skip the credits. I just waited, just thought. I dont regret buying this, and I could probably get it refunded considering how short it was. But i'm not.

I just want this game to be here, in my Steam library. The name just occationally catching my eye and making me remember what I experienced. Maybe driving me to reinstall it and play it again in a few weeks or months.

This is barely a review because this is barely a game. It's a story, a book, a movie that you can move in a bit. You dont have choices to make, you follow the narrative, and that's okay. Because at the end, you're left with your thoughts, how you feel about those involved and that's it.

I dont know if Coda is real or not. Since the game isnt free, I cant imagine he is. That does not mean, however, "Coda" didnt have some form of influence.

Is this game just Davey poking at our heads? Being a bit pretentious? A cry for help or big laugh to see how people react? I dont know. So give it a shot. Take from it what you will and just think about it.

Just think about it.

게임에 대한 이야기를 하는 게임입니다. 게임은 사람이 만들고 사람이 합니다. 모든 창작물이 그러하듯 그것은 인간을 바꿉니다. 만든 사람과 그것을 접한 사람 모두를 바꿉니다. 그러한 게임(또는 창작)에 대한 이야기를 이 게임은 담고 있습니다. 조금 독특한 방식으로 말이지요. 특히 게임을 제작하시는 분이 이 게임을 하신다면 굉장히 슬퍼질지도 모르겠습니다.

- 게임의 모든 내용이 영어로 제공되며 듣기와 읽기가 충분히 되야 게임을 즐길 수 있습니다.
- 미국의 애니메이션을 자막없이 볼 수 있는 수준이면 충분하실 겁니다.
- 솔직히 말해서 게임은 지루합니다.
- 그래도 지루할만한 가치가 있습니다.
- 교훈적이예요.
- 교훈이라도 얻어야지요.
- 모든 교훈이 그렇듯이.

説明でも示されるように非常にナラティブ(体験中心)なゲームであり、実際に体験してみなければわからないタイプのゲームであるため、興味の取っ掛かりを作るためにも、あえて前段の情報を記載する(とはいえストアページPV内でも半ば以上示されてることではあるが)

この物語はどこにも発表しないまま一人で黙々とゲーム開発を続け、ついには制作をやめてしまった人物Codaと、その友人であるDavey Wredenの二人を中心とした物語であり、プレイヤーはCodaの幾多の作品をプレイしながら物語に触れていく。

この作品が何より素晴らしいのは、プレイ体験としては誰もがほぼ一様であるにもかかわらず、人によって感想が大きく変わるであろう所だ。
誰の物語なのか、誰がための物語なのか、公的でありつつも非常に私的、SNSの発展した現代では大なり小なり行われているだろう独善、どこまでが真実でどこまでが”真”の真実なのか、それだけの多面性や深みが90分ほどのごく短いゲームプレイの中に詰まっており、一つの物語となっている。

Beginnerという言葉には創始者のような意味合いもある。The Beginner's Guideというタイトルは、ゲームの世界を創り始めるBeginnerに向けた、作者自身のありのままのメッセージなのかもしれない。

The beginners Guide - ein Spiel zum Nachdenken

Ich war lange Zeit der Meinung ich Spiele Games um Spaß zu haben. Doch änderte sich das durch Spiele wie The Stanley Parable oder This war of Mine. Es sind Spiele bei denen man auch mal kurz inne hält und über Dinge nachdenkt die einen bisher nicht gekümmert haben, also ... zumindest erging es mir so.

Bei The beginners Guide ging es mir nicht anders es war sogar so das es noch viel stärker war. Es ging soweit das ich manchmal ein Paar Sekunden stehen blieb und nur dem Sprecher lauschte, ich machte meine Theorien wer hinter den spielen stecken könnte und wurde vom Ende nur geflashed.

Ich kann mir vorstellen das es nicht alle so empfinden deswegen gebe ich die kaufempfehlung nur an die rauß die nicht nur Action wollen sondern besonders an die Menschen die auch gerne mal die Symbolik in einem spiel hinterfragen.

Das spiel ist zwar nach 2.2 Stunden durchgespielt gewesen aber das war es defenitiv wert. Ich bin froh dieses erlebnis gemacht zu haben. Ich bin begeistert und hoffe es finden sich noch viele den es genauso geht!

If you want to see how much can games get deeper than you think, here is what you have to do:

1. Play this game, it's an hour and a half long. Play it completely blindly and trust me, don't look at anything (review, trailer, even steam negative or positive reviews). You won't regret it, I promise you.

2. Watch this:

3. Then watch this:

If you define it by its gameplay, The Beginner's Guide doesn't really have any rules. It's more in the realm of interactive fiction than objective based gameplay.

I GUESS PEOPLE CAN ONLY COMPREHEND SPOILER WARNINGS IF THEY'RE IN ALL CAPS, SO SPOILERS AHEAD PEOPLE. ALSO, AND FOR GOOD MEASURE, IN CASE YOU SKIP THIS LINE, TOO-

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The Beginner's Guide will inevitably polarize the slice of gaming public that plays it (as evidenced by the reviews trickling in). And that is as it should be. It's a game about the death of the author/programmer, and it is deeply ironic, confusing, and sad. It also questions the cultural desire to canonize some things as "art" and discard others, as if there's some apotheosis of meaning to be found in a so-called grand narrative.

The hour and a half narrative experiment features a narcissistic auto-narrator named Davey Wreden who tries futilely to grasp the meaning behind a collection of unfinished micro-games that his friend, Coda, presumably made, stored away, and forgot about. The player explores these little interactive abstract expressionistic games and observes as each programmed space gets increasingly desperate, dreary, and claustrophobic. Most of the time Davey annoyingly lectures about the meaning of each game, which actually violates player agency in a way few games manage (and I think that that might be what makes so many people uncomfortable. It certainly made me uncomfortable). Whereas most games contain programmed boundaries for the player--and the meaning of the experiences in these games unfold based on the choices the player makes or is impelled to make--in this case the narrator acts as an extra constraining force that imposes meaning on works that otherwise feel deeply ambiguous.

I feel the need to defend this game for precisely these ambiguities, as well as for Davey's constant need to fold those imposed meanings back in upon himself (something that I think we all do when looking at an art piece). Many of the criticisms leveled against this game range from thoughtful (e.g. unlike Stanley Parable, which forces players to reflect upon their choices by showing how games constrain mobility, this game spoonfeeds meaning to players and holds their hands during the experience) to irrelevant (e.g. why pay this much for a bunch of unfinished games?). I'm interested some of these responses because so many of them showed that the game caused a stir, and the most compelling of those responses were ones that almost couldn't decide what to think. Stanley Parable was a complicated game because no other game before it had intentionally done the work of exposing the boundaries of the game world. No other game had discussed so completely how games are such powerfully rhetorical devices (a discussion we need to have more frequently, especially given the legacy of brazen violence in video games that comes, in part, out of a history of military involvement with the games industry).

But The Beginner's Guide is something different. Instead of forcing players merely to reflect upon themselves as they engage with the game world, it also asks that the player recognize how one's interpretation of an artwork is colored by personal experience, and that as a consequence it is always already misguided to attribute an absolute intention behind an authored piece. So what do we make of Davey, the actual author? Leaving aside for the moment that the auto-narrator is nothing more than a mirror (or picture, or simulation) of Davey, the author of the game is always inaccessible and non-existent. Once the product is out there, it is up to the player to decide what it means. In other words, everybody's interpretation of a thing is simultaneously subjective (lonely) and socially constructed. That makes meaning both dynamic and intersubjective. Because Davey is an added constraint on the player (metaphorically figured in-game as imprisonment), the player is left to wonder what the hell they just experienced. Was it someone else's loneliness? Was it a desperate game designer crying for help? Was it a massive cliche about how tortuous the creative process is? Or was the game just forcing us to ask these questions in ways we never have before?

The player sometimes occupies multiple subject positions in order to feel loneliness and uncertainty. For example, the player is at one point a student in a lecture hall. With the exception of a professor at the podium confidently spouting off pseudo-intellectual nonsense, the entire lecture hall is empty. The camera shifts to different seats two or three times before settling on the professor, who perceives behind the lone student in the auditorium (his pink cube head reading "listen" on all sides) a massive black hole sucking in everything around it. Meanwhile, the player gets to choose what the professor says. Yellow highlighted phrases are what the professor would actually say to his students. The grey options, always vulnerable or crass or self-defeating, are the honest ones. Maybe I found this scene so touching because I teach college, too, but it confused the hell out of me because at this point in the game I was so critical of Wreden for being an absolutely pompous jerk, and yet I found myself needing to fold this moment back in upon myself. More than anything, that's the sort of confusing push and pull that makes me endorse this experiment.

I recognize that my review might come off as a little ironic, since it seems like I'm attributing absolute meaning to this game. But I'm not. I am just offering a way of thinking about it, and a lot of people might find this way misguided and stupid. That's fine. In the end, it doesn't matter if people do or don't like this game, because what it did is it elicited a confused response that didn't before exist. The cool thing about meta-narratives in games right now is that they suggest game designers are starting to leave behind the tired narratives of hyper-masculine men lugging around heavy weaponry through destroyed cityscapes. Instead, gamers now have to think about how lonely the experience of playing a game is. They have to reflect on the types of questions games are able to raise in ways other media cannot. The possibilities are utterly exciting, and I for one look forward to what developers come up with next.

Esse não é um jogo fácil de escrever sobre, é possível que minha indicação não valha para todos. The Beginner's Guide é um dos jogos com experiência mais distinta de tudo que eu já joguei. E não, isso não é um exagero.
Não é um jogo para qualquer um, se você costuma ter dificuldade para se abrir a experiências novas e costuma se contentar com os jogos "comuns" de FPS, MOBA, RTS, etc, eu já aconselho não comprar esse jogo, pois, provavelmente, não terá um efeito tão positivo.

Experiência?
A palavra que melhor descreve esse jogo é "experiência". Durante o percurso do jogo, você acompanha a narração de Davey Wreden, criador do jogo "The Stanley Parable", contando fatos que aconteceram com ele envolvendo uma figura chamada Coda. Você viaja por diversos cenários, encarando diversos questionamentos sobre insegurança, relacionamento, exclusão social entre vários outros, propostos pelo narrador por meio da fala e da interação com os cenários que você se encontra. Em poucos momentos você realmente interage com o cenário, a maior parte do tempo você anda e escuta Davey contando um pouco mais sobre essa figura tão intrigante que é Coda.
The Beginner's Guide é um jogo relativamente curto, com, em média, 1:30-2:00 horas. Porém, esse é o tempo necessário para o autor contar tudo o que gostaria, com muita calma e alguns devaneios muito bem colocados.

É necessário ter jogado "The Stanley Parable" antes?
Não ter jogado não afetará o que você irá absorver da narrativa, não há nada que o obrigue a ter jogá-lo. Porém, se você tiver jogado, isso contribui para o jogador se situar melhor dentro da mente de Davey Wreden, então mesmo não sendo necessário, é interessante de se ter jogado. Além do mais, The Stanley Parable é um excelente jogo, então não vai lhe custar muito, além de que serve como um "treinamento" para verificar se você se acostuma com esse estilo não convencional de jogo.


Indicado?
Como já havia dito, não é um jogo para todos, então, caso se encaixe nesse perfil e ache que irá aproveitar o jogo, vá fundo! É uma experiência única!

Ahh, antes de tudo, atualmente o jogo está totalmente em inglês, e como não há perspectiva de legendas ou dublagem por parte dos criadores, verifique se há tradução em sites do gênero. Caso domine a língua inglesa (o vocabulário usado no jogo é pouco avançado), não há nada no seu caminho!

I grew up not often wanting to talk to people, and when I did, I didn't know how.

And it's such a strange sensation, to be fully immersed in something I enjoy, and... To find myself wanting to reach out. To talk.

I smiled, cried, laughed, I was afraid, I was finally comfortable. I spoke in silence and solitude at a glowing screen in darkness. I apologized. I reassured. I was myself.

This is a testament to our species. I am so sad. I am full of so much love.

10/10 갑자기사람들에게 물어보고싶네요.

당신은 고아원으로 처음 자원봉사를 가게 됩니다.
이때 당신이 처음 떠올려야하는 생각은?

1. 학점을 채우려면 앞으로 00시간-0일간 해야겠군..
2. 뭐라도 사갈까..
3. 내가어떤 일을 할수있을까, 하고나서 무엇을 느낄까..


이중에 있으신가요? 아무래도 좋습니다.
하지만 앞으로는 0번째로 이걸 떠올리십시오.

0. 내가 입고가려는 복장중에 화려하거나,
값비싼 브랜드로 아이들 기를 죽이게 하는물품은 없는지 확인해야지

자원봉사를 하려거든 정말 누구를 위한것인지,무엇을 조심해야하는지를
깊게 생각하고 행동해야한다고 말하고 싶네요.

이 게임 또한 비슷합니다. 누군가 도와주는게 과연
정말 그를 위한일인지 나를찾는 일인지를 깨달으며
저지를수있는 비기너의 실수를 잘 담아냈습니다.

The Beginner's Guide - игра ни о чем. Игра обо всем. Игра о друге. Игра о самом себе. Она оставляет тебя в раздумьях, но ты не можешь четко понять, по какой причине и о чем думать... Сложнее всего здесь то, что после финальной сцены ты понимаешь, что спроецировал происходящее на себя... и всё сошлось... Придумываешь ситуации, которые не подходят для этого, но они всё равно связаны... Слишком много времени, чтобы начать думать, и слишком мало, чтобы придти к решению.

Игра просто выворачивает мозг. А если еще и начать обдумывать происходящее... Автор рассказал историю, возможно даже ненастоящую, но от своего лица, предложил делиться своими мыслями на личный E-mail, но ты не знаешь, о чем поведать... Ты просто обдумываешь и понимаешь, что ты - и герой повествования, и сам автор...

Всем тем, кто хочет задуматься над собой и над окружением, стоит пройти её. Да, возможно, это личное послание кому-то из окружения автора. Но ведь не просто так оно оказалось в открытом доступе, верно?

レビューとはいえこのゲームについて私が何を書いても陳腐に見えてしまうのですが…。
人生で一つでもゲームを作ったことがある人、作ろうとして挫折した人、作ろうと思ったことがある人。人生で一つでもゲームをプレイしたことがある人、プレイすることが好きな人、好きなゲームがある人、ゲームについて考えることが好きな人。
とにかくあらゆる形でゲームに関わる人に一度はプレイしてもらいたいと思います。
ゲームに関わる全ての人々への初心者の手引になるかもしれませんし、ただのしょぼいゲームの連作になるかもしれません。

The Beginner's Guide has fundamentally changed how I view the process of game design.

Aside from the title, I don't intend to fill this review with much in the way of superlatives or hyperbole, simply because saying something along the lines of “This game changed my life” doesn't really mean anything in a literal sense whether or not it's true.

The statement made by the title is, however, true. Through its narrative and interactivity, The Beginner's Guide provides insight into game design – specifically insight into game designers and the games they work on. Developer commentary, rather than being a separate bonus, is integrated directly into the experience as Davey walks the player through the game while telling them a story.

On the surface, this blend of hand-holding and storytelling makes the game play out rather like a documentary. However, the interactivity of the game is vitally important to the experience. Despite how little my choices actually meant to the game as a whole, I was stricken by the feeling that I am actually an important piece of the overall experience; stricken by the realization that a story told only has value if someone is there to listen. I needed only an inconsequential amount of agency to still feel like I, as a gamer, mattered to the game I was playing – and that's exactly what I got.

What really hooked me was feeling like Davey was speaking directly to me. Not to me as a character, or even necessarily to me as a player, but to me as a person. It was a remarkably human feeling, and I can safely say that no other game I've ever played has validated my existence to quite that degree. It didn't take long before I was completely invested in the experience I was having.

Imagine, for a moment, having a conversation with your favorite game designer. If such a thing doesn't exist, imagine having a conversation with your favorite author, movie director, musician, or entertainer. While playing The Beginner's Guide, I felt like I got something akin to what I'd imagine that to be. A direct line of communication from game designer to gamer through the game I was playing.

I felt like I not only got insight into the game I was playing, but also into Davey as a person. And it was a reminder of the people who give me the experiences I indulge in on a daily basis.

Being so casually reminded that there are actually human beings, with lives, experiences, and stories to tell, behind every single game I've ever played was… an eye-opening experience, to say the least.

And it's left me with so many questions.

Do those people design games with the explicit intent for them to be played? Do they show every single game they've worked on, or are their drives full of unfinished or scrapped projects (if those don't get deleted outright)? Do they make games for business? For profit? Or simply for the joy of it – whether it be their joy as a game designer, or the joy others feel when playing their games? Or do they make games because… it's the only way they can reflect on themselves and grow as people?

I write because it allows me to look at myself objectively and learn from myself. And I didn't even realize that's why I write until I had this experience. Could it be that many game designers actually do the same thing? Are their games, like eyes, windows into their soul?

These are questions I never asked myself until I played The Beginner's Guide.

Now I can't stop asking them.

Прежде чем начать, должен сказать важное. Если вы пришли сюда за тем самым опытом, что получили во время прохождения The Stanley Parable, то вы, вероятно, останетесь разочарованы. Да, фирменный почерк автора заметен невооруженным взглядом. Здесь есть все те же голос рассказчика, разрушение четвертой стены, нестандартные элементы повествования и необычные геймдизайнерские решения. Но если “Притча о Стэнли” являлась развлекательным постмодернистским произведением, то The Beginner's Guide заходит гораздо дальше.

И базовый посыл вроде бы ясен; рассказчик учит нас смотреть на процесс разработки, как на искусство. Но я склонен сказать, что в этом он заходит слишком далеко. Он показывает игроку то, что обычно скрыто, раскрывает все неочевидные механики, все то, что обычно остается за кадром, что не вмещается в поле зрения наблюдателя. И игрок поневоле задается множеством вопросов. А является ли искусством то, чего не видно? Является ли нечто искусством без того, кто сможет его оценить? Очевидного ответа на данный вопрос нет и быть не может.

И начиная с этого момента, начинает раскрываться главная, как по мне, идея “Гайда для новичков”. Может быть, автор и не закладывал ее, но его детище учит игрока самостоятельно задавать вопросы.

Для кого создавалась эта игра? И нужен ли здесь игрок? Быть может, The Beginner's Guide создан автором лично для себя, для саморефлексии?

Являются ли Кода и Дэйви одним и тем же человеком из разных моментов времени? Если да, то разговор в телефонной будке - это диалог с самим собой? И если обратить внимание на двигатель, то можно увидеть, что в таком зацеплении шестерни не способны вращаться. То есть, он изначально нерабочий? Тогда в чем действительно скрыта причина кризиса творчества Коды?

Автор за короткое время поднимает огромное количество таких тем, которым обычно практически не уделяется внимания. Мне нечасто приходилось задумываться, насколько допустимо вмешиваться в чужое творчество, изменяя его для себя и других. Пусть цели вроде бы и благие: ведь всегда приятно, когда то, что тебе нравится, получает заслуженное внимание. Но насколько вредоносны эти влияния? Лишают ли они предмет искусства изначальной задумки? Является ли это неосознанным неуважением к чужому творчеству?

Затрагиваются здесь и менее глобальные вопросы, среди которых присутствуют темы привязанности и одиночества. Но даже тут скрыто второе дно. Кто на самом деле одинок? Самодостаточный Кода или зависимый от него Дэйви? Не переносит ли один на другого свои личные проблемы?

Это можно долго продолжать. Список потенциальных вопросов поистине неисчерпаем. Ведь еще можно проводить параллели как с реальностью, так и с The Stanley Parable (вспомните недостижимую концовку и задайтесь вопросом: а не сделана ли она такой специально?). Но о самом главном я уже сказал. Тем и ограничусь.

Могу ли я рекомендовать The Beginner's Guide? Если вы цените все то, что я описал выше, берите не раздумывая. Благо рефанд еще никто не отменял. Но я прошу, если игра вам понравится, подарите “Гайд для новичков” тому, кто сможет его оценить. Он этого заслужил.

P.S. Возможно, что в некоторых местах я ошибаюсь. В конце концов, практически ничего не знаю об авторе. Но, как и любое искусство, данная игра открыта для интерпретации.

Если вам понравился мой обзор, то можете оценить и другие отзывы. Буду рад любому фидбеку!

Hmm.

I won't talk about the game, so much as make some recommendations for playing the game should you choose to play it. It's just fine if you decide that this game isn't for you.

- Do not have anything specific planned after this game for the day.
- Do not play this game if you're not in a stable mental place.
- Do not play this game if you're under a lot of stress.
- If you play it in windowed mode, hide your desktop icons (right-click>view>uncheck show desktop icons on windows)
- Turn off music, turn off videos, and set your phone and socials to do-not-disturb or equivalent.
- Minimize other potential distractions.
- Take what time you feel you need. But that doesn't necessarily mean it has to take you a long time.
- This game should probably be played in one sitting. It took me literal years to carve out the time to do so, but it was worthwhile.


EDIT / CLARIFICATION:

This is a narrative game. As with most all narrative games, it's worth giving it the time of day to play it when is best for both you and the game. No, it probably won't somehow make you uproot your life and rethink everything, but for the wrong person at the wrong time, it may not be good to play. Likewise, for the right person at the right time, it may be a good way to explore different thoughts and perspectives. It can be completed at a casual, story driven pace within 2 hours.

So uh... who else is here thanks to PirateSoftware?

Rather than just reviewing the game, I went and made a whole video essay about it. I would highly encourage you to play the game before engaging with any content (including my own) about it, PSoft was spot on and this game is fantastic for really anyone that creates... *stuff*

5 bucks is also a steal and thats what its on sale for at the moment.

Here's the video essay for anyone curious:

The Beginner's Guide by Davey Wreden is one of those games like Outer Wilds where it is of the utmost importance that you experience blindly.

This game means a lot to me, so if you're so inclined to listen, I'll speak my peace about this 8 year old, 1 1/2 hour long game(?)


I played this game for the first time about a year after it's release. I think initially, I'd say I "got" the game and that I understood what it was saying. Looking back, I don't think I was necessarily wrong, but I was also a kid in high school. It's message didn't fully enmesh with me, but I knew that I had been touched, and this game has stuck in the back of my mind ever since.

At the time, (and even now), I had a wide eyed gaze on game and interactive experience development that hadn't gone as far as I'd like. As the world's gotten crazier, and as I've tried many times to get the ball rolling on my own creative journey, I felt like I needed a cleanse, to revisit an experience that I believe to be at the heart of my journey. I think it helped. Otherwise, why would I be here writing a review for this game at 12 am on a Sunday?

This game is about a lot of things; about being a creator and a critic, about the creative process, about authorship, about the myth of the auteur, about boundaries. It's about the tyranny of the narrator, and meta-textually, about how games, (or, if you're of the persuasion that this should be classified not as a game, instead an interactive experience or something) are a vehicle for a very personal type of storytelling experience that make such an engaging art form. Maybe you don't have the massive branching choice typically associated with player agency or multiple endings or intense gameplay, but you do get a personal feeling that a movie or a book or most RPGS don't give.

I'd loathe to spoil everything, but it's a game about being personally, spatially transported to an environment you can't make immediate sense of, and the narrator trying to tell you what he thinks it all means, trying to take you through the mind of someone he deems to be a quirky creative who only he could understand. One that doesn't have all their things set straight (at least, as the way the narrator thinks they should be set). This is a conversation about how works touch people, what people leave behind when they make something, and if creation should have any particular meaning at all.

A lot of the time, I feel for, and like, Coda, the subject of the game, making things only they understand, with their own obscured understandings and patterns. Making for the sake of it, on their own with no care for outside validation. Coda's work or what we could at least believe to be Coda's work, is very self-conversational. It's tones resonate with me. Sometimes, I want to believe that I could be some kind of daring rouge that goes their own way and makes waves with only the immense power of their limitless creativity and wit. The fact that I haven't released anything, good or bad, and that no one knows who I am probably speaks for itself. But everyone needs goals, right?

Terrifyingly, I also feel a lot like the fictional version of Davey, the narrator. Constantly trying to impart meaning upon someone else's actions. Thinking about how I would do it. To try to pry my way into their mind and to forge a deep connection with someone who'd just rather... not. To take something or someone else and make them your own, to act like you fully get everything there is to know about them. It's a habit that's cost me a lot, it's really painful to hear just exactly how you sound at your worst. But sometimes we need to see what we're doing from another perspective. At the end of it all, I want to make things that people can see themselves in, I want to communicate ideas and give people experiences that they take with them. I want to let these ideas out of my head and help other people ideas grow. And this version of Davey is like that too, for better or worse. I'm sure as I go on my journey through this life, I'll make more mistakes, probably ones I thought I'd never make again, but it is a comfort to be shown where someone else messed up the exact same way. It's easy to get wrapped up in yourself, but humans are social creatures. We can get things done working together.

If you've actually read all this, thank you for indulging me. I hope it gets easier for you too.

Videospiele sind Kunst. Und Videospiele verbinden das reale Leben in einer Kunstform. Kunst die nicht erkennt, mit Gefühlen, die jeder in sich trägt. Sie bieten dir die Möglichkeit in eine andere Welt zu fliehen über die selbst gewählte Spielzeit/dauer.

The Beginners Guide geht an die Nieren, wie kaum ein anderes Spiel. Und ich habe viele ernsthafte Thematiken in Computerspielen gespielt. Vergewaltigung. Emanzipation. Alkoholismus. Krieg. Rassentrennung. Aber hier wird ein Bereich meines Lebens angesprochen, den ich eigentlich nicht in einem Videospiel erfahren wollte.

Wenn man nämlich selbst depressiv ist, ist dieses Spiel wahrlich kein Vergnügen.
Man durchlebt eine wirre Welt, scheinbar vom Autor des Spiels, entdeckt dabei vor allem aber sehr viel von sich selbst.
"Sich selbst" ist hierbei doppeldeutig. Denn man lernt etwas über den Erzähler/die Offstimme... und man lernt etwas über "sich selbst", also über dich/mich...

Wenn man also depressiv ist, dann packt man hier viel zu viel eigenes ran. Ich hatte erst überlegt das Spiel zu Let's Playen... und ich sage euch ganz ehrlich, ich bin froh es nicht getan zu haben... ich hätte irgendwann aufgehört zu reden, weil ich nicht mehr wirklich weiter wollte. Am liebsten hätte ich ausgemacht und nicht weiter gespielt. Manche Dinge sollen einfach nicht erklärt werden oder enden.

Dies ist sicher nicht das 0815 Review was man erwarten könnte. Das tut mir leid, aber es ist dem Spiel "The Beginners Guide" angemessen... denke ich.

Wer Empathie und Mitgefühl für seine Mitmenschen hat und manchmal davon vielleicht etwas zu viel, ist gut beraten das Spiel vielleicht lieber liegen zu lassen. Wer offen ist für neue Gedanken und vor allem zum Interpretationsspiel bereit ist, zwischen den Zeilen, zwischen dem Gesagten und zwischen den Bildern weiter zu denken... ist herzlich eingeladen circa 2 Stunden in die Welt von "The Beginner's Guide" abzutauchen!

Ich empfehle dieses Spiel bedingungslos. Aber nein! Ich hatte keinen Spaß dieses Spiel zu spielen.
Mir saßen und sitzen sogar jetzt noch die Tränen nah!

Videospiele sind Kunst!

The Beginner's Guide is the closest thing to fine art that I've seen in the medium of video games, and I mean it.

The goal of most games that we are used to calling art is usually to create something beautiful—and that goal is, of course, admirable. But The Beginner's Guide endeavours to do even more: to create something interesting. And even manages to break the fourth wall tastefully in the process.

Like Shrek, it has layers.

On layer one The Beginner's Guide is a series of experimental games made by someone named Coda, presented to you by Davey Wreden, the creator of The Stanley Parable. The thing that I rarely see The Beginner's Guide lauded for is that those experimental games are actually interesting on their own, toying with the player's agency in inventive and unusual ways. A prison that's made of skyboxes, with you longingly trying to get inside a room. Panick-stricken people begging you to tell them something, with you suddenly having no dialogue interface. A game about user-generated notes (that were actually written by its creator). A game about the uncertainty of the future where you can only walk backwards.

Those are all very neat ideas, some of them closer to museum art or installations than what we're used to see in gaming, like a game that only has a small level accessible to the player but actually contains a huge byzantine labyrinth.

Then we have later two, the narrator's story. See, the in-game Davey Wreden explains to the player his understanding of Coda's games and even alters them sometimes when the in-game ideas become too unplayable, like the player having to wait an hour to get out of a prison cell. What is not apparent, however, is that the in-game Wreden is also an unreliable narrator who alters the games even without your knowledge to make them fit his narrative about Coda's mental state. A lot of ideas of The Beginner's Guide are discussed overtly through this narration: can we get to know the creator through their art? Can we honestly connect? How should art be judged?

But then there is also the third layer.

When you play a game about a narrator trying to understand the motivations of a developer, while getting completely confused about his own motivations, it's unavoidable to wonder about the motivations of the actual developer of the whole experience. Not Coda, not the in-game Davey Wreden, but the real-life one.

Why did he make this game?

Obviously, outside the realm of fiction there is no Coda and the experimental games were made by Davey himself. Obviously, the in-game character called Davey Wreden does not equal the actual developer of The Beginner's Guide. Since the creator clearly empathises with both sides of the story (or else he couldn't and wouldn't have made it), it's reasonable to assume that all the mutually exclusive acts of the two characters and interpretations of Coda's work as a happy artist or a tormented one are true at the same time, the sides or the real Wreden's internal conflict, and even the imagined Coda's journey might be real (since we know from his blog that Davey was struggling with the issues of validation and fame after releasing The Stanley Parable).

Yet at the same time, since the interpretations are mutually exclusive and since the game so blatantly tells us that you can't fathom what's happening in the artist's head from their art, it is also clear that the conflict is fictional and you shouldn't assume the actual person is going through what you think they are going through based on their art.

But then... why did he have to pin his real name to an in-game character?

Basically, there is a reason while the final image if The Beginner's Guide is a maze. In a rather tasteful attack on the fourth wall, it does not only play as a series of neat game ideas; not only as a heart-wrenching story of an overly obsessed fan; but also as a self-denying paradox when you try to figure out what exactly its actual creator was trying to communicate and why he made it.

Yeah, you should definitely play it.

Spoiler Alert!

I first played The Beginner’s Guide in the summer of 2017. It was the first walking simulator I ever played, before which my knowledge of such games was very limited. I witnessed the tale of a man’s turbulent fallout with a former friend accompanied by a wistful soundtrack and minimalistic visuals. An article or two informed me of the game’s subtext, and that was it.

Fifty walking simulators later, I revisited this game— if not more than to experience some pretty music and pretty scenery. My initial experience? It didn’t age well. Davey’s constant interjections remind me of an eager kid who cannot restrain himself from telling you absolutely everything about the movie he is showing you. (I still think we could’ve had a little less Davey without compromising the game’s integrity.) After familiarizing myself with abstract indie games that offer no explanation, I felt like my hand was being held by a game aptly titled, “The Beginner’s Guide.” But although it might’ve felt a little “tell, not show”-y at times, upon reaching the ending the second time, I realized I had been approaching it wrong all along.

The game truly makes sense when the player makes this realization: The Beginner’s Guide isn’t about Coda, it’s about Davey. We’re seeing the world as Davey sees it. We’re being fed his thoughts, and we’re presented Coda’s games to fit Davey’s narrative. The moment we realize that Davey is an unreliable narrator, the better viewpoint we have in order to understand the game. Knowing Davey is unreliable, and that Davey (as a character) also created this game, the game itself is unreliable as well. The audience must maintain some impartiality in analyzing both Coda’s games and Davey’s interpretations of them. The many contradictions, peculiarities, and biases found in Davey’s dialogue makes me appreciate how, despite the casual delivery of his words, The Beginner’s Guide is astonishingly precise.

The Beginner’s Guide is a game with three layers, all of which are thoroughly enjoyable in their own right. The first, and the most simple to understand, is to follow Davey’s journey at face value, to experience the game as he presents it. The game, at this level, still stands amongst the best walking simulators. It’s serene at times, and equally dreamlike, but more importantly, blossoming with meaning. Interpreting Coda’s games under the lens of depression (as Davey does) makes for a powerful experience. Given how accurate its depictions of mental illness are, I’m not surprised how Davey mistook these uncanny resemblances as fact.

The second layer occurs upon the second playthrough, after the realization at the end of the first. We take one step back and now view Davey as a character, just as much as Coda is. We can analyze the push and pull of their relationship, the situation they’ve found themselves in, and notice the ways in which Davey is sorely mistaken. Discovering the several points in which Davey unintentionally harms Coda over the course of the game sheds new light on how it all went wrong. Listen more closely, and you will be rewarded.

The third and final option is to step all the way back until everything comes into view. To view the game as a whole: the metaanalysis, the implications, and the intended purpose.

So what is The Beginner’s Guide really saying?

This game is a cautionary tale about art criticism. It’s a story about the boundaries of interpretation, and the human consequences that could happen when you cross them. To understand all of this, we must understand that art, unlike, say, the hard sciences, is a world of subjectivity. The ways we create, consume, and interpret art are highly dependent on our brains, which are molded by our ever-changing environment and biology. So when an artist creates a work of art, they infuse their subjectivity into that art. The art is thus a product of the artist. This much is well understood; it’s really common sense. But what about the art critic? When the critic judges a work of art on their own terms, it’s exactly the same. The critic’s interpretation is as much a reflection of the critic as art is a reflection of the artist. As much as a critic strives for objectivity, their work is, in a way, art nonetheless.

So what does this have anything to do with The Beginner’s Guide?

Davey is the critic, and Coda is the artist. Davey’s primary failing is the lack of self-awareness, to realize the limitations of criticism. His interpretations of Coda’s art are tainted because they are viewed through his experiences. To have subjective criticism is one thing, but to use that subjective interpretation to infer, Freud-style, Coda’s innermost thoughts and desires is a grave overestimation of the capabilities of such analysis. To put it simply, Davey overanalyzed Coda’s work, took his observations, and ran a marathon with them.

But make no mistake, this isn’t to invalidate all forms of criticism (or to think this game is exempt from analysis). To interact with art is completely fine. A critic is well within their rights to derive whatever they want from a work of art, or come up with interpretations of Coda’s work a hundred times more outlandish than Davey’s. But when we leapfrog from conclusions about the art to conclusions about the artist, we must treat our conclusions with a delicate approach. The problem is not that Davey views Coda’s games through the lens of depression; but since this lens is one amongst an infinite number of lenses to choose from, to treat his conclusions as gospel and (more importantly) to publicize and preach Coda’s supposed mental illness, is wrong.

Aside from this, there are many other lessons to be drawn from this game. Don’t obsess over someone else’s art. Don’t intrude on personal space. Listen to others. There are several theories floating about, too. But whether you believe that Coda is real, Coda is Davey, or they are one and the same, the aspect of the message that I elucidated above remains the same.

The Beginner’s Guide is a game with simplistic and guided elements while simultaneously exhibiting layers of maturity and complexity underneath. In reality, it’s not groundbreaking in message; concepts such as the nature of art and the idea of the “critic as an artist” have been well explored in aesthetics for decades. However, it is The Beginner’s Guide that uniquely illuminates and explores such ideas with emotional resonance, a contemporary touch, and with endlessly rich complexity.

I have played this game four times over as many years and the impact hasn't faded. It is a thought provoking journey that I understand will not be for everyone.

When I am struggling with work, life, or how I view myself, it is a game I load up to try to get a better understanding of myself, reflect on the past and present, and try to predict my future. This game is worth so much more than $10 to me.

The Beginner's Guide is the most emotionally sobering, game that I have ever played.

There are vary few pieces of media that I've played, watched, or read that have reached me on an emotinal level as this game.


If someone ever reads this review, I can not urge you enough to play this game.

一句话简评:这是一个必须你亲自来玩来体会的游戏,并且本游戏的游戏体验也很难说轻松愉快富有娱乐性,不推荐单纯追求爽快感的玩家入手。
This is one of those games that you must play it and feel it yourself, and I can't say the experience is relaxing and entertaining, for gamer who seek simple excitement and entertainment I DON'T recommend this game.

推荐完了,于是来说说我自己的体验。昨天晚上群里的小伙伴不知为何在玩古墓9,导致我心痒难耐决定打开Steam看一眼我少得可怜的成就,没想到一打开就看到系统给我推荐这个游戏。我当时就满开了:“卧槽!《史丹利寓言》作者的新作!必须好玩啊!”于是,尽管那时候已经是晚上11点半而且第二天早上我还有课,我还是立马买了这游戏开始玩。
游戏不长,我大概用了80多分钟打通了主线,然而玩通之后情绪上的波动让我凌晨4点多才终于睡着。这是一个很难用语言形容的游戏,因为其游戏体验十分独特,并且相当私密。就说我自己吧,作为一个也有点抗拒社交逃避现实但又渴求认同的人,听到Davey说“Where did I screw up?”的时候真的感觉有人狠狠捅了我一刀。我相信每个人在玩这个游戏的时候,一定都或多或少地被这个游戏触及内心深处的某些隐秘的情绪,某些你不希望任何人知道的小咪咪 秘密,而最有趣的是,这种刺探可能根本就是无心之举。
游玩建议:选一个温暖和煦的下午,泡一杯热巧克力,找一个靠得住的好基友以免你无处倾诉,确保没有任何事情(包括出恭)会打断你一次性玩通主线。然后,开始玩吧。

一些胡思乱想
  • 还记得在《史丹利的寓言》里,当我们开始不按旁白的话走时,我们才终于发现那些“真正有趣”的事。Davey会不会也像旁白一样,只是把我们导向他想要我们去的地方?他有没有故意向我们隐藏一些Coda希望玩游戏的人注意到的东西?这个游戏会不会也有一个“扫把间”?
  • 可能是因为之前看了《魔法环》的实况(是的就是谜之声的实况),我总觉得Coda应该是一个女性角色。

Now let's talk a little about my personal experience. The whole story started as one of my friend in our little gaming group was playing Tomb Raider(that Yamatai one) and I suddenly wanted to check on my achievements. So I launched Steam, this game appear on the starting page as one of the system recommendation to me(probably because I have both Ether One and The Magic Circle in my wish list). Then I was like 'holy f it's a new game from The Stanley Parable's author! It must be really interesting!' bought this game immediately and started to play it though it was already 11.30pm and there's a class next morning.
The game itself was not that long, took me about 80min to finish the main story line, but the emotional shock I got from it kept me awake until 4am. It is quite difficult to find the exact words to describe this game, the experience was, I guess, very unique and personal. Take myself as an example, part of me was also refusing to socialize, trying to escape from reality yet asking for validation, I really felt like someone stabbed my heart when Davey started to ask 'Where did I screw up'. I believe everyone who played this game could feel something related to themselves that is so personal they would rather keep only to themselves. And the best part is, the author was possibly not even intentionally doing this.
My suggestions: pick a warm, sunny afternoon, make yourself some hot chocolate, find someone you can trust with all your secrets in case you want to confess something, get all your businesses(including nature's call) done so you can finish the main story line in one go. Then, you start the game.

Some random thoughts
  • Remember how things started to get 'really interesting' when we started to act against the narrator's instructions in TSP? Could it be that Davey was also just leading us to the direction he want us to go? Did he intentionally kept us away from something Coda wanted the person playing those games to notice? Could there be a broom closet in this game as well?
  • Probably because I just watched someone's 'Let's play The Magic Circle' videos, I'm having this wired feeling that Coda should be a female.

I decided that for one week, in the summer of 2019, I would play and beat a different story-centric game every day. The Beginner's Guide, Darkside Detective, Tacoma, Red Strings Club, and The Pillars of the Earth. The Beginner's Guide was the first.

Now I have a rough relationship with story-heavy or story-centric games, in that I often don't agree with other gamers' views on the excellence of the story. It's not that I think they're wrong, but rather, that we're comparing the story using different benchmarks.

See, I love to read. I used to skip school, so I could read. My personal book library is larger than my game library (which, like so many, has grown quite bloated). I've also written two books and roughly one hundred short stories, some of which are published. So there's no real surprise that I think the written word is king of narrative.

What makes it king of narrative is that, in a book, description is characterization. Take a tree, for example. The way a druid, a bloodthirsty warlord, an alien from a desert planet, a young child, or a farmer will describe the exact same tree will all be quite different. And those differences reveal to us the inner-workings of that character's mind. In this way, books are a form of empathy training, a claim that is borne out by various studies on the matter.

But in a game, that tree is identical regardless of what character you're playing when you view it. First person, third person, 3d or 2d. Realistic or stylized. It makes no difference. The tree is depicted externally, which means the only internal perspective you have access to when viewing it... is yours.

Because of this, I feel so incredibly frustrated when story-centric games merely try to mimic the narrative style of novels. They're simply never going to beat a novel at its own game. Description and character perspective are not the strength of story-telling games.

The strength of story-telling in games is what might at first appear to be a weakness: the only internal perspective the player has access to his own. Put another way: the player CANNOT escape his own complicity in the game. The player is a participant, not a spectator. Furthermore, the game is able to alter the way the player interacts with it. A book cannot - at best, the words could be written backwards or upsides down or something of that nature. But that's nothing compared to the way that a good game can mesh narrative and mechanics.

The Beginner's Guide fully understands this. It doesn't attempt to transmute a novel story in game format. It tells a story in a way only a game can. By making the mechanics (limited though they are) and design itself reflect the story it wants to tell and by making the player complicit in that same story, in such a way that led one journalist to remind some players that "even if you loved the game, you may still want to get a refund." (p.s. don't do this)

It's a short game, and I loved every second of it, not just because of what it managed to accomplish on its own but because of how it demonstrates the power of games to tell new types of stories.

R$19,99 por cerca de uma hora e meia de entretenimento. À primeira vista parece bem caro, ainda mais considerando que o jogo não tem um fator replay muito alto: uma vez que você chega ao fim, nunca mais terá a mesma magia nas próximas vezes que você jogar. Entretanto, justiça seja feita: valeu cada centavo. E muito.

The Beginner’s Guide foi desenvolvido por Davey Wreden, a mesma mente por trás do genial The Stanley Parable, jogo indie cuja nova versão em HD, de 2013, foi aclamada estrondosamente por mídia e público.

Confesso que The Beginner’s Guide é um daqueles jogos que eu compro às cegas apenas porque confio incondicionalmente no trabalho do autor. Meu único receio era: depois de The Stanley Parable, seria possível que um novo projeto do Davey fosse tão subversivo e impactante quanto? A resposta é um retumbante SIM. Não, desculpe... Na verdade acho que TBG vai além.

Quem me conhece mais a fundo sabe que eu gosto bastante das obras confusas, que a gente tem que quebrar a cabeça para entender e que possibilitam infinitas teorias e suposições. Gosto de Evangelion, por exemplo, porque ele tem muitas camadas de interpretação para serem exploradas: podemos analisar a psique das personagens, podemos teorizar sobre os eventos anteriores ao início da história, podemos nos por a procurar as referências bíblicas, podemos filosofar sobre os significados da existência a partir das visões de realidade apresentadas, e por aí vai...

E em TBG não é diferente: são tantas as diferentes direções que podemos seguir para tentar entendê-lo que é praticamente impossível esgotar as discussões. O jogo chega ao ridículo de questionar a atribuição de sentido – ou seja, podemos tentar compreendê-lo até mesmo nos recusando a compreendê-lo!

Para resumir, no jogo você faz basicamente quatro coisas: andar, observar, clicar e (principalmente) ouvir. Não é necessário nenhuma habilidade nem conhecimento prévio sobre games para jogá-lo – só é preciso saber mexer um mouse, apertar quatro teclas de um teclado e ter um inglês razoável para poder entender a história.

Você vai explorando os cenários e contemplando a narrativa, e pode levar o tempo que quiser. O mais interessante, contudo, é o modo como a definição de “jogo” é extrapolada ao extremo. Não há regras, não há desafios, não há objetivos. Não há inimigos, não há ameaças, não há vencedores nem perdedores. Não há limite de tempo. The Stanley Parable já era assim, mas aqui as coisas são reduzidas aos elementos essenciais; podemos dizer que The Beginner’s Guide oferece uma experiência mais crua do que a do seu antecessor espiritual. Mas não é uma crueza no sentido de polimento; muito antes pelo contrário: é um jogo tão bem acabado quanto. Mas é uma crueza que o faz mais franco, sincero e visceral do que The Stanley Parable.

Como eu mencionei antes, são muitos os níveis de interpretação possíveis. É um jogo que fala sobre jogos e sobre processos criativos. Fala sobre relacionamentos e sobre a necessidade de validação externa que temos enquanto seres sociais. Fala sobre introversão, isolamento e depressão. Fala sobre a atitude de julgar, que é tão própria do ser humano. Mas se eu tivesse que escolher uma palavra para definir o jogo, eu diria que The Beginner’s Guide é sobre o ego.

É possível enxergar o outro de forma plena? Como, se nem a nós mesmos conseguimos enxergar? Tudo o que vemos nada mais é do que uma imagem do outro projetada por nós mesmos, e essa imagem sempre será transfigurada por nossos próprios filtros sensoriais e mentais. É como se todas as pessoas fossem feitas de um material meio reflexivo, de forma que ao olhar para elas sempre víssemos um pouco do nosso reflexo. “Minha definição de você diz mais sobre mim do que sobre você.”

Outro ponto muito curioso de The Beginner’s Guide é que o jogo cria primorosamente uma aura de intimidade e conexão que deixa o jogador confuso. Por um lado você começa a realmente se envolver na história e querer saber cada vez mais o desfecho, e por outro você se sente um tanto desconfortável em ser cúmplice do narrador, que lhe expõe a perspectivas tão particulares sobre as coisas. Sem dúvida o jogo me causou algumas sensações que nunca tinha sentido antes ao jogar outros jogos. É complicado dizer o que é arte e o que é jogo ali. E é exatamente isso o que mais me fascina nos jogos independentes: a honestidade, a identidade, a riqueza criativa, a expressão tímida que se engrandece e transcende a intenção de quem se expressa.

Mas voltando agora à Terra, recomendo muitísimo essa singular experiência narrativa que é The Beginner’s Guide. E a sugestão serve para todos. Mesmo. Independentemente do sexo, da idade e de ser gamer ou não.

Foreword
Due to how precious it was to dive into this game completely blind, this review hints very lightly at what The Beginner's Guide is really about – and only in the “Thoughts” section.

If you're considering making this purchase but are unsure if you'll like The Beginner's Guide and want to enjoy it as spoiler-free as possible, read ONLY the next section.

The Next Section
I know, very funny. Anyways:

The Beginner's Guide is one of those games where you walk around, someone shows and tells you stuff and, through the power of an excellent narrative, you feel moved and/or affected by the end of it all. Not a fan of slow-paced games? Hate walking simulators and such? This game is not for you.

The Beginner's Guide features, for reasons I can't tell you and I'm truly sorry about that, very 'basic' graphics. Are you looking for some visually stunning sights? This game is not for you.

The Beginner's Guide is less than 2 hours long. Yes, even if you 'take your time' and 'explore'. That's it. That's what one playthrough is going to give you. Unless, I don't know, you stay still and do nothing for 30 minutes. That's up to you. Not into short games? This game is not for you.

The Beginner's Guide will not make you feel happy by the end of it. Do you hate it when games make you feel down and talk about completely relatable issues and make you reflect about your own sad excuse for a life? This game is not for you.

Alright, if you're still here: this game is for you.

If you're looking for a daring and new way to reflect upon the phenomenon of games, at a slow and (very) personal pace. If you're not afraid of seeing a little bit of yourself reflected in someone else's suffering. If your idea of “having a blast” is to be left reflecting about a game hours after having finished it.

If you're afraid, like we all constantly are, and you feel like this is the perfect time to do some fighting back and some thinking, this game is for you. Don't be afraid to play it and, if possible, make sure to do so in one sitting.

Thoughts
Once in a while a game crosses my path that convinces me that simply making and playing games isn't enough: we need to talk about them.

We need the conventions and the Steam reviews. We need the blogs and the Youtubers. We need our gaming friends and the coding community. That is where ideas spring.

Any programmer will tell you – as I've heard from many – that the time spent actually coding a game makes up the minority of its creation time. Schematics drawn hastily on pieces of paper to be tossed into the bin and half-drunk discussions during late Friday nights last much longer than nervously typing fingers ever will.

So what lies in that gray area of thought when a developer isn't busying themselves with typing actual code?

The Beginner's Guide answers that. Through one long conversation, The Beginner's Guide truthfully, unexpectedly, relentlessly and brutally gives you every single one of the answers. Even to the questions you didn't ask. Especially to the questions you would never dare ask.

The Beginner's Guide exists – and can only exist – precisely in that gray place of fear, regret, lonesomeness and, worse of all: naked truth.

“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

It is not a game. It is an experience. Remember how it felt when you get lost in your favourite book, where written words created world, emotions, personalities and mystery? The beginners guide is something like that....

Once you understand the meaning of this game, it really hits different. "Are you motivated by your own creativity or by external validation?"
Is it worth it to push yourself to the limits and reach breaking point just to get the approval of others?

The beginners guide is not a game. It is an experience similar to reading a book and walking through an art gallery. The story it tells is one that leaves you thinking, and if you're into that kind of stuff, this is for you.

It is not even a game. It's an idea. A few of them, given a form, that would help it to resonate with people like me.
I think you are not supposed walk it through. Much more feel it through.
And now I have to go and think. About a lot of stuff.
I'm incredibly thankful to this game for giving me those thoughts and feelings.

The beginner's guide - метафора длиною в три часа.

Я буквально только что окончил прохождение и сразу решил поделиться с вами мыслями о ней:
Начну пожалуй с того, что Beginner's guide - не игра в полном смысле этого слова, beginner's guide - это художественное полотно, это, если угодно, произведение искусства, метафора и идея, но ни в коем случае не просто "игра". В основе же этой идеи лежит история про разработчика игр и решительно неясно, реальна ли эта история, рассказывает ли она нам про реальных людей, но, если быть честным, это не имеет значения.
Почему?
Потому что The Beginner's guide - это не история про глубокие философские думы, она не пытается оспорить существующие концепции понятий бытия, она не претендует ни на какие неведомые высоты или вселенски-сложные концепции, The Beginner's giude - крайне частная история, крайне авторская, и потому прекрасная.

The beginner's guide поднимает вопрос творчества и творческих людей: того как именно оно оценивается и в каком виде особенно ценно, он показывает нам абсолютно разные и буквально параллельные точки зрения на этот счёт и преподносит она нам это через очень неспешный и медитативный игровой процесс, приятную музыкальную составляющую и отличную озвучку закадрового голоса. Достаточно ли этого, чтобы я посоветовал вам The Beginner's guide? Сполна достаточно.

"Гайд для начинающих" - очень личная история, очень тёплая и очень самобытная, она заставляет задуматься над всем тем творчеством, что окружает нас и подталкивает нас к вопросу: "Что было в голове создателя, когда он корпел над своим детищем? Как он пришёл к этому? Что он вложил?"

Кому я могу посоветовать эту "игру"?
Всем и каждому, даже людям далёким от индустрии видеоигр, я искренне советую скачать и пройти The Beginner's guide одиноким вечером, с кружкой любимого кофе/чая и в наушниках, потому что, поверьте, она не заберёт много вашего времени, но даст вам много больше - почву для размышлений.

Если вам понравился обзор, то подписывайтесь на мою кураторскую страницу , где я периодически пишу про самые разные игры, а также вступайте в мою группу и подписывайтесь на YouTube-канал . Если обзор Вам не понравился, то все равно заходите, чтобы написать мне почему я неправ.

I've been a semi-professional photographer for the last 10 years or so, but when i started photography I had no interest other than entertaining myself for years. I had no need for validation, until one day I put some photos online. It led to some amazing thing happening to me, I've written articles, sold images to companies and people all over the world, even took 5 years to photograph and write my first book. However the one thing it did was it make me sacrifice some innocence to achieve and receive validation for my work. I could not longer just enjoy making photos for the fun of taking photos, those days are in the past.

That's the message I took away from this game. One your creative innocence is gone, it's gone for good. You sacrifice your innocence, you hope to grow from doing that and you do but you pay a heavy price. Is it worth it? You only find out by giving your creative innocence away and each person decides if the price was worth it.

As an aside the one thing I hate about modern gaming and social media is the obsession with completion. A game comes out and it's basically "Much complete game so I can get new games and complete them.". This "game" confirmed that games should enjoyed for what they are, creative artworks, not just products to be used and abused for personal gain, too many people are just obsessed with using games and social media to find some personal validation. We return to "loss of innocence" a game once played and completed can never yield the enjoyment of the first play through, a price is paid and those racing to complete are nothing but "gaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥" who don't seem to care for the joy of gaming, simply gaming for gaming's sake.

The first ever game I finished under 2 hours and I won't refund. You guys definitely should try it if you are into mental&narrotion games. I don't want to spoil your experience because it's completely story-based game. My suggestion if you are going to play is to play it at once. I mean don't leave the computer until it ends. I believe it'll be more influential in this way.

Edit: Grammar

Hey tu!
Si, proprio tu che leggi questa recensione. Magari hai visto il trailer di questo gioco e non ci hai capito molto. Adesso te ne potrei consigliare o meno l'acquisto, ad esempio elencantodi i suoi pregi e difetti. Il problema sarebbe: come si fa a valutare l'utilità di una recensione? Dovresti conoscermi, capire i miei gusti. Magari dai uno sguardo al mio profilo, vedi i giochi che ho giocato di più. Butti un occhio sugli achivements. E' davvero sufficente? Mi conosci adesso? Cosa hai capito di me? Puoi giudicare la mia recensione?


Se ti ho fatto sorgere anche solo un piccolo dubbio, dovresti provare The Beginner's Guide, potrebbe rivelarsi un'esperienza interessante per te.
Oppure no. Non ci conosciamo dopotutto.

Vidéo YouTube™: COUP D'ŒIL - The Beginner's Guide [Test FR] 
Vues : 6,066
Jetons un coup d'œil au "jeu" narratif de Davey Wreden sorti le 1er octobre 2015. Trouver ce jeu sur Steam : http://store.steampowered.com/app/303210/ Site officiel :...

"The Beginner’s Guide n’est pas vraiment un jeu, c’est certain. C’est plutôt une sorte d’expérience qui utilise le game design de manière remarquable pour nous proposer une narration puissante et bien écrite. Celle-ci explore des thèmes qui risquent forcément de vous toucher et de vous faire réfléchir d’une manière ou d’une autre. Pour moi, cela a été le cas. Le soft a une haute portée symbolique et laisse également une grande place à l’interprétation personnelle dans ses motifs et ses thèmes. Comme Davey Wreden (le développeur et voix off du jeu), le joueur pourra retrouver un peu de lui-même dans les jeux de Coda, et ceux-ci pourront l’aider à s’interroger sur sa propre solitude, son propre rapport à la création, à l’inspiration etc. Par contre, je dois avouer que le jeu m’a moins marqué que Stanley Parable ne l’avait fait en son temps parce qu’il lui manque la petite touche d’humour que ce dernier proposait. The Beginner’s Guide reste beaucoup plus sérieux sur toute sa durée, notamment parce qu’il traite de thèmes assez graves. En plus de ça, il faut vraiment savoir dans quoi on se lance avant de dépenser 9 euros pour un tel titre et c’est pour cela que la page Steam vous avertit très clairement. Toutefois, pour peu que vous soyez un tant soit peu ouvert à une expérience hors-norme prenante et touchante, The Beginner’s Guide en vaut la peine même pour une heure et demie très linéaire.

+ Des thèmes intéressants qui font réfléchir
+ Une expérience narrative maîtrisée et touchante

- Pas vraiment un jeu, il faut savoir dans quoi on se lance
- Très court (1h30) et linéaire"

Делиться творчеством всегда тяжело, потому что ты боишься оценок, неправильного понимания, или вдруг вообще никто не заметит того, что ты с таким трудом создавал. И не важно, что это - текст из трёх строк, эпическое полотно два на два метра или музыкальное произведение в стиле рэп. Всё потому что создавая, ты вкладываешь душу и частичку себя в творение и её никак оттуда уже не удалить. В этом всегда есть что-то личное. Знакомясь с таким произведением, ты знакомишься с автором, пусть и через призму его творчества. Это отличает авторские работы от поделок той же машины, которая фигурирует в этой игре.

Дэйви Ридн в этот раз поделился с нами чем-то невероятно личным, безгранично душевным и трогательным. Несмотря на то, что The Beginner's Guide по-прежнему игра-тюрьма, теперь она полна не столько абсурдных «выходов», сколько вполне реальных вопросов о творчестве и жизни, через призму всё той же «тюрьмы», в которой каждый из нас так или иначе пребывает. В большинстве по собственной воле.

Как и в The Stanley Parable делать ничего не нужно, только ходить и слушать. В этот раз скорее даже больше думать. Не каждому это понравится, но тем кто любит личные истории и философские размышления – строго рекомендую.

Stanley Parable'den bildiğimiz arka plandaki Dave sesi eşliğinde yine sayko ötesi, tabiri caizse beyin s**erek derin felsefi mesajlar veren bir oyundayız. Tabi bu sefer onlarca farklı oyun sonu ve farklı yol yok. Bu seferki konu, şahsın arkadaşı Coda'nın yarım bıraktığı veya yapıp saldığı birkaç tuhaf oyun üzerine gitmek.
Oynanış namına pek bir getirisi olduğunu söyleyemem. Ama zaten Stanley Parable'yi de zevkle oynatan şey oynanışı değil diyaloglarıydı. Burada da o yönden benzer bir mesele var. Ve açıkçası bu oyun bana SP'den daha tuhaf ve kafa karıştırıcı geldi. Eğer Stanley Parable'den zevk aldıysanız bu oyunu da oynamanızı öneririm. Tabi indirimle alarak ve orta derece bir İngilizce bilerek (Türkçe yama vardı ama kurup çalıştırmayı başaramadım).

Внезапно, но для того, чтобы получить максимальное удовольствие от The Beginner`s Guide, стоит следовать тому же совету, что давали многие когда вышла The Stanley Parable: ничего не читайте о ней. Ничего не знайте. Просто играйте. Всё, что будет написано ниже - это литьё воды, бессмысленное и беспощадное. Литьё воды на тему того, почему в данное творение стоит сыграть каждому, кто остался неравнодушен к истории Стэнли и просто любителям необычных историй.

Это рассказ о творческом пути одного разработчика игр. Загвоздка вся в том, что игры он создавал, скажем так, весьма необычные. С первых же минут к нам обращается сам создатель игры и начинает демонстрацию, разбавляя её своими комментариями. Он будет пояснять происходящее, помогать нам с прохождением и...пытаться понять смысл игры вместе с самим игроком. Да-да, автор комментирует происходящее, но сам зачастую не понимает что происходит. И это одна из главных особенностей местной истории.

Дело в том, что на экране местами творится самая настоящая наркомания, суть которой объяснить просто нереально. Нам пытаются разъяснять всё по серьёзному, нам пытаются втолковать какой-то зарытый глубокий смысл. Но очень тяжело верить в то, что многие продемонстрированные игры несут в себе что-то. Всё "Руководство новичка" напичкано фирменным юмором и прекрасным стёбом над играми. Здесь полно шуток на тему недоделанных игр, багов, что есть геймплей и прочих поднимаемых в индустрии вопросов. Да, их ещё нужно найти и понять, но если поймёте - удовольствие гарантировано.

Но в игре полно и серьёзных моментов. Среди шуточек и странностей всё же проглядывается смысл происходящего. На смену чему-то смешному приходит нечто депрессивное. Особенно это видно во второй половине игры. Умопомрачительное действие сменяется философской бродилкой с рассуждениями. А последняя треть игры и вовсе меняет взгляд на некоторые элементы, увиденные раннее. Да даже само название заставляет задуматься. "Руководство новичка"...это демонстрация того, как не надо делать игры? Или надо?

Но пожалуй, я прекращу лить воду и просто скажу что главное, ради чего, на мой взгляд, стоит сыграть в Beginner`s Guide. это то, как она совмещает в себе юмор и глубокий смысл. Это очень смешное и в то же время очень серьёзное произведение о том, каково это - быть разработчиком и том, через что приходится ему проходить. Да, её не пройдёшь 20 раз как Stanley Parable так, чтоб каждое прохождение было уникальным. Да и в целом она всё же не такая интересная, как да-вы-уже-сами-знаете-какая-игра. Да, она займёт у вас не больше двух часов. Зато каких! Рекомендуется к ознакомлению.

P.S. Не смотрите скриншоты и трейлер! Проспойлерите себе пару классных и дико упоротых моментов во всём этом действии.

Eine pseudo-interaktive Geschichte

Warnung:
"The Beginner's Guide" ist in keinster Weise ein Nachfolger, das heißt weder offiziel noch in seiner Art als Spiel, von "The Stanley Parable". Wenn man sich "The Beginner's Guide" kauft, sollte man sich darübrt im Klarem sein.

Zusammenfassung: (für die Ungeduldigen ;) )
Ein ungewöhnliches, in vielerlei Hinsicht anderes aber meiner Meinung nach dennoch gutes Spiel. Wer ein zweites "The Stanley Parable" sucht, ist jedoch absolut falsch. Wer hingegen in der Stimmung ist, sich auf eine durchaus etwas philosophische 1 1/2 stündige Geschichte einzulassen (denn das ist "The Beginner's Guide", vielmehr eine pseudo-interaktive Geschichte) der hat eine gefunden. Ob er die Geschichte und die Art, wie sie erzählt wird, mag, muss jedoch jeder selber entscheiden.

Review:
"The Beginner's Guide" ist, wie bereits eingans erwähnt, eine Geschichte. Es erzählt diese auf interessante und eindrucksvolle Weise und wirft Fragen zu zwischenmenschlichem Verhalten auf und regt somit zum Denken an. Es ist also in keinster Weise einfach mal "leichte Kost" für zwischen durch und ehr als Kunstwerk zu verstehen.
Das Spiel läuft auf der Source-Engine und ist graphisch jetzt nicht der letzte Schrei, etwas, was man bei einem so nieschigem Titel eigendlich aber auch nicht erwartet. Man kann es sich anschauen.
Über weite Strecken hinweg läuft man als Spieler nur durch Level und hört dem Erzähler zu. Generell ist das Spiel sehr monolog-lastig. Es gibt kaum Interaktionsmöglichkeiten, Allles ist linear und geskriptet. Rückblickend betrachtet scheint dies jedoch sogar gewollt.
Die vielen einzelnen Level oder "Spiele" hingegen waren teilweise sehr interessant und hab schon in sich zu Nachdenken angeregt. Leider wurde man viel zu häufig in einem Gedankenschwerem Moment oder beim (Versuch) weiterem Erkundens (nicht das es etwas zu entdecken gäbe, wie gesagt absolut linaer) vom Erzähler weiter gezerrt, auch wenn das durchaus ebenfalls gewollt sein könnte.

Fazit:
Insgesamt wirkt das Spiel auf mich ehr wie eine Kunstwerk oder Essay. Etwas, was man in dreißig Jahren in Schulen Interpretieren und analysiren wird, so wie es jetzt auch mit Kurzgeschichten und Bildern der Fall ist. Ein Kunstwerk, dass mir persönlich letztendlich durchaus gefallen hat. Aber wie das bei Kunst und Literatur so ist, es ist Geschmackssache.

So bleibt mir nun also nur übrig, zu hoffen, dass ich euch ein ungefähres und hilfreiches Bild von der Art von "The Beginner's Guide" gegeben habe und es jedem, der meint mit einem solchem Spiel etwas anfangen zu können, weiterzuempfehlen.

MfG Morris
PS.: Wenn ihr am Anfang das gefühl habt, es sei nichts für euch bzw. es lagweilt euch, empfehle ich: spielt trotzdem weiter. Es kann sein, dass es euch am Ende doch noch gefällt. Sind ja nur 1 1/2 bis 2 Stunden.
PPS.: Wenn ihr es durchgespielt habt, würde mich eure Meinung interessieren. Lasst vl. einfach einen Kommentar da.

whenever i'm fretting about art block, i acknowledge it's because it's keeping people from seeing my work, and knowing that i'm a talented and valuable person. when i feel this way, i play The Beginner's Guide again.

this game is reflective of the struggle against a mindset that the culture of Art Under Capitalism ingrains in all artists, nothing is created for the sake of creation, there is always an ulterior motive; to want to be recognized for one's work, to want to be a deep, provocative artist, and for your art to live on forever in the cultural consciousness

but sometimes, art isn't deep. this game presents the radical concept that art doesn't need to have meaning, art doesn't need to have context, that games don't need to be playable. but it's how the narrator responds to this concept that is explored.

in this game, the narrator, Wreden (a cute pun on "read in,") is continuously endeavoring to reveal an elusive deeper meaning underlying the works of reclusive game developer Coda. in pursuit of this, Wreden "fixes" the games Coda creates so that the player can reach the end, and ultimately tries to present them to the public as windows into the soul of Coda, and it's this infringement that ultimately leads Coda to sever their relationship altogether, leaving Wreden directionless and miserable

this story is fiction, but only in a sense. Coda is the personification of a fleeting, whimsical artistic drive, without a higher purpose, creation for creation's sake; the abstract concept of the "muse". Wreden represents everything else; the drive for validation, the drive for success under capitalism, and a selfish drive to be the one to finally "help" Coda. the radical concept being presented in this game that art being expected to have a purpose is ultimately a detriment. someone can just like making prisons

某种程度上来说新手指南并不算游戏。
如果你是玩了史丹利的寓言之后意犹未尽想要体验作者其他的奇思妙想游戏才点到这里的话,那现在最好退出。但如果你玩完了史丹利的寓言,想要体验一下作者的独白和对自己内心想法的剖析,以及他经历了什么………那么新手指南也许会让你了解一些东西。

《史丹利的寓言》制作人Davey Wreden在他22岁的时候,因为不喜欢市面上条条框框限制玩家的商业游戏,遂捣鼓出来了《史丹利的寓言》。但这个游戏收到的赞誉和关注远远超过了老哥的想象,就像他前段时间(2021.7.29)在推特上庆祝史丹利寓言发布10周年的时候说的,“史丹利的寓言真的彻底改变了我的生活,我无法想象如果没有它我今天会是什么样。这十年比我最狂野的梦还要大胆。我实在是太幸运太感激了。”

史丹利的成功给他带来了声望和财富,也带来了玩家们的好奇和媒体的关注。很多人都想知道他是怎么创造这一款游戏的,然后无数的问题伴随着巨大的关注接踵而至。于是老哥就抑郁了,差点崩溃,就像新手指南里面说的,“我没灵感了”,在做完史丹利过后,戴维一度丧失了制作游戏的灵感,每天除了自我怀疑还是自我怀疑。


游戏里面的制作人coda其实就是他自己,一开始这个部分的自我结合的很紧密,但随着名声渐起,对制作游戏的不同想法开始把这部分的自我撕碎,直到分成两半。那段时间戴维过得非常痛苦,面对无数玩家期待的新游戏却没有一丝一毫的点子,差点就这样沉沦下去。好在最后他挺过来了,于是顺便把这次的内心交锋做了个新手指南,给玩家们展示出来,也算作给玩家们一个了解自己内心挣扎的渠道。

我打完了新手指南去看老哥的推特,还挺活跃的,好像21年还新开了一个工作室叫IVY ROAD,现在没事就写点电影评论文章啊,个人文章啊什么的,还说自己正在准备《史丹利的寓言:特别版》的制作,在重写整个游戏文本。总之,老哥现在过的挺有意义,还顺带玩了几波新出的独立游戏(《12分钟》和《杀戮尖塔》)。
希望他越来越好吧。

Al igual que The Stanley Parable (anterior obra de Davey Wreden), recomendar The Beginner's Guide no es fácil. No se trata de un videojuego al uso; no hay objetivos, ni mecánicas, tan sólo caminamos mientras oímos un narrador en off. Dicho así, no parece muy atractivo. Pero aquí lo relevante es contar “algo”. Es uno de esos videojuegos denominados "walking simulator" que apuesta fuertemente por la narrativa.

The Beginner's Guide trata sobre el proceso creativo de un videojuego, así como de la interacción del creador ♥♥♥ la obra, pero también trata de nosotros mismos. Detallar más sería arruinar la experiencia, por eso, os invito a que le deis una oportunidad y lo probéis. Su duración sólo es de alrededor de una hora y media. No puedo aseguraros que os gustará, pero, sin duda, disfrutaréis de una experiencia única.

This is a special game with an interesting and original central idea. I can’t write too much about it because I’m afraid of ruining the story.

I played The Beginner's Guide without knowing anything about it. Not knowing what to expect is an especially great way to approach this game.

It has some fantastic moments and it kept me engaged the whole way through. I highly recommend that you play this game and I’m excited to see what the developer comes up with next.

For the whole playthrough i felt like i'm not supposed to be there, felt like i'm standing in the middle of the conflict and it made me feel really sad and guilty myself. There's not much to say if you don't want to spoil other's playthroughs.

Not a fan of Stanley Parable, but this is truly a great story, not sure if you'll enjoy to participate.

The Beginner's Guide Review.


Developer: Everything Unlimited Ltd. (Davey Wreden)
Genre: Walking Simulator, Story.
Price: $9.99
Played on: GTX 650, Core i3, 1920x1080 Res.

"You desperately need something and I cannot give it to you. I literally do not have it."

The Beginner's Guide is a narrative driven game where you as the player get to explore the many creations, they're not really video games as seen by the screenshots above, they are just creations made by a man trying to describe how he feels through making these creations.Or is he?

This review is hard to write because there is no good way to describe this game, it's very different to anything I've played to this day and I feel like different people will come out of it thinking different things, that's not anything new, people have different thoughts on games all the time but this game is very different from that. This isn't a fight between is the game good or is the game bad. It's more of what the game means to you.

Throughout the game, you see all kinds of enviroments and walk through them. They are all very linear and they are all unique and pretty odd. I wish I could describe these enviroments but I really don't want to spoil the game and each one of these enviroments are super important to the game and again, I don't want to spoil anything.

I found the game oddly satisfying to play even though I usually don't like fully narrative games. The game just works, it's not a game to be critizised and it's not really meant to be rushed or played slowly it's just a very very very distinct game compared to other games I've played. Some people might not conisder it a game, some people might consider it a breakdown of a man.

In conclusion, The Beginner's Guide in my opinion should be bought and played without knowing anything about it, some people might not like the game, I feel like some people will like this game more than others and vice versa because the game has so much to discuss and to talk about while having almost nothing to confirm. This was a weird review to write just because this game is so unique.

I recommend The Beginner's Guide only to people who want a story, no gameplay, no quests, no weapons, no fighting bad guys. Just a weird emotional crazy story.


For breaking my mind slightly with just a narrative, I give The Beginner's Guide a
9/10.

Note on recommendation: This game is roughly the length of a movie, and I got about as much enjoyment from it as I would a movie. Therefore, I'm going to go ahead and recommend this game despite its length and lack of interactivity. That being said, this game is for a very niche audience. I would not recommend it to the general gaming audience.

Note of reviewer: I make games for a living, and this game talks about people who make games. As a result, the messages in this game are going to reach people like me. It will not mean as much to others.

Note on the game: This game deals with depression and people pleasing, which could be uncomfortable for some players. Be sure you're ready for some heavy material before diving in.

Actual review:

What more needs to be said than what I already said? This is a rather heavy examination of some of the psychology that goes into creative works. There are parts that feel very contrived throughout. I didn't actually feel like I was looking at what I was told I was looking at. People don't really make games exactly as presented here. Nonetheless, there are facets of it that ring painfully true for anyone who has attempted creative work like this. It'll get you to think about your relationship not only with your work, but with other people's work. For that, I think this game was overall a success.

If you're considering getting this game, I suggest you find someone who has played it and who knows who you are first to see if they think you'll get something out of it. Otherwise, you may find yourself disappointed.

Steam offers a refund for any game you've played for less than 2 hours. As this game is about 90 minutes long, this means that theoretically anyone who buys it could get a refund after playing through it. Please don't do this to indie developers. If you buy this game, keep it in your library. If you're not willing to part with $8-10 on 90 minutes of entertainment, then... well, maybe these kinds of games just aren't for you.

First of all, this is not a game, this is definitely an experience.

When I first knew that the game's maker is the one who made Stanley Parable, I thought that it would be some kind of a sequel. It turned out that I was wrong as it showed a different level of gaming experience that I was extremely down to explore.

As it's quoted in the game's description, it has absolutely no goals to achieve, just like a movie or a book, it tells a story of a person struggling to deal with something. Your main goal is to follow the narrative and see what the experience would bring to you.

I've had a strange feeling that I can't quite describe throughout the whole game, I've felt sadness, loneliness, how cruel life can be sometimes, how I wrongly handled situations before, how people probably felt about me doing something...
The game truly teaches some meaningful lessons.

It's hard to describe it without giving up spoilers, and even if I use them, you won't get much as you would do by playing it. The game would make you think about your life, about other's lives, it would make you question yourself more than once in that 90min experience. I totally recommend it if you are down to immerse yourself into a world of feelings that you might never encounter in any other game.

Смысл в том, что эта игра - выпендреж, а вы все идиоты.
Кода, The Beginner's Guide


Это проект, который рассмешит, проект, который заставит неимоверно скучать, проект, который очарует и/или разочарует.
Ибо нечто под названием The Beginner's Guide - слишком парадоксальный продукт; но вовсе не потому, что он частенько рассуждает о парадоксах.
Это нечто еще сложнее объективно оценить, чем прошлую игру паренька по имени Дэйви Вреден (хе-хе) – The Stanley Parable. The Beginner's Guide понравится только тем, кому понравился The Stanley Parable; однако далеко не всем, кому The Stanley Parable понравился, понравится The Beginner's Guide. Подробнее?

Построена игры по главам, где почти каждая - игра от Коды. Схема та же: в геймплейном арсенале у вас есть лишь ходьба (вранье!) , однако игра строится не на вариативности, сюжет ее линейный. Поэтому она, возможно, лишена стольких восторженных отзывов, хотя это отнюдь не отнимает ее индивидуальности. Не отнимет ее ни устаревшая сурсовская графика, ни малое количество музыки, ни частенько возвращающаяся скучность геймплея. Ведь главное в этой индивидуальности – история, приправленная изрядными галлюцинациями.

История разработчика Коды, друга Дэйви и очень экстраординарной личности, не уступая предшественнику, также нехило умеет ломать каноны. Она найдет смысл в хаосе, подкинет истощенному уму немного пищи, где-то рассмешит, где-то растрогает, потому как полна иронии (даже иронии над самой собой) настолько, насколько полна рассуждений, аллюзий и чего-то безнадежного… Особенно актуальна она будет для людей, прикасавшихся к творчеству и созиданию, впрочем, это не обязательно: кто-то подчерпнет сатиру на разработку игр, кто-то претензию на философию - каждый все же найдет что-то для себя. Конечно, если решится: не всем придется по душе монолог человека о человеке вместо геймплея.
Думаю, стоит сказать: это история слишком личная. Это – подарок, это – послание; я считаю странным, что мы вообще это увидели, странно, что это продают. Что ж, хорошо или плохо то, что история личная – каждый решит для себя сам. Мое мнение вообще скованно спойлерами. Очевидно лишь, что это не The Stanley Parable. Не знаю, советую ли я игру, очевидных минусов в ней для меня не так много, однако, какой не была фраза «на любителя» избитой, именно такой The Beginner’s Guide и является.

Порнозвезды тоже умирают…

这是一款西斯空寂的致郁作,而且流程短于两小时,你玩/看不懂的话总可以退款。
对作者davey感情十分复杂,千言万语汇成一个词,interesting…

为了游戏体验建议不要看任何视频/剧情评测,下面是严重剧透的瞎扯淡...

!!!spoiler!!!
"这是我朋友的一系列游戏,他叫coda,他不再做游戏了,也许我把这些游戏分享出来,他会再次开始做游戏。"

从开始游戏听到这一段旁白后,我就开始猜测coda发生了什么,抑郁了?大概要玩到一串风格诡异的游戏?
之后故事发展很符合我的想法。coda不停的做着独特的游戏,却又从不发布。体验前期几个游戏的时候我觉得蛮有趣,plus庄子曾港过的那句话,子非鱼焉知鱼之乐,也许人家coda就是做给自己玩的呢?

但是旁白不停地在讲着他和coda的故事,coda做的游戏只给“我”看,“我”从游戏里解读出coda的各种想法,觉得coda的抑郁倾向越来越明显,“我”越来越想要帮助他。于是我的想法逐渐被旁白牵走了。也许coda真的饱受折磨,想要通过游戏跟别人交流。看这些游戏,看看里面那些矛盾的自我,旁白的讲解剁么有道理,coda他剁么痛苦啊。

然后在担心coda会自杀的无限忧虑中旁白牵引着我走向结局,“我”擅自把coda的游戏分享出去了,coda就做了游戏来传达和“我”决裂。故事到这加上之前的机器之死,我几乎确定coda要自杀了,结果coda最后作品里的内容狠狠的打了脸。
其实从头到尾,真正病态的都是旁白…“我”才是那个需要coda的游戏来让自己感觉良好的人,通过向别人展示他的作品,展示“我”能解读出这些游戏背后的含义,哪怕是通过修改coda的原设定也要硬生生进行解读的含义。而coda就是像我一开始想的那样,人家乐意做给自己玩。。

故事中后段之前我还有点动摇coda是否真实存在,看到结局之后我觉得coda只是作者的创作人格?或其他。然后看了作者在他官网的声明,史丹利寓言的成功让他进入了一段抑郁期什么的。说实话coda是个真实存在的人还能让我感觉好一点,把coda和“我”看作一个人矛盾的两面来细想真是非常致郁。
充满创作灵感的那一半你不想受常规限制,自娱自乐的去做些东西,更多的探索自己的内心。另一半的你却拼命的想要从这些东西里找出意义,推广出去,证明自己的与众不同和成功。于是创作型的你决定决裂,再不产出…
这些游戏属于coda,旁白把他们放出,用他的解读去引领我们继续过度解读。然后包括我在内的一群玩家玩过之后又在不断地去对davey制作这个游戏的意图进行解读,有点讽刺吧…

当然也许整个故事只是davey懒得迭代更新demo想不断尝试新东西但是又想做出一个能成功的好作品的自我纠结与思考,于是最后搞出了个自传故事。


"He is two men – he has ALWAYS been two men. That’s what any man or woman who makes believe for a living must be. The one who exists in the normal world…and the one who creates worlds. They are two. Always at least two."

As a creative, this game hits very close to home as I struggle with these similar issues- self-doubt, isolation and reclusivity, and Davey only brought forth these repressed feelings about myself and my own personal work. I have a lot to think about after playing this game, and I sincerely think this game will stick around with me for a very long time.

Thank you for this.

The Beginner's Guide is an examination of what it means to try to interpret someone through their work. Davey Wreden takes you on a journey through the games his friend Coda made. And through these games you will get to know Coda, to understand him.

The Beginner's Guide is a game I haven't stopped thinking about since first finishing it 7 years ago. It means a lot to me, and I really appreciate Davey for having created it. A game that is just as good replaying it as it is the first time. I can't say more about the game without spoiling it, I urge you to play it, and to do so without reading anything else about the game.

Okay, with this being a game from the Stanley Parable developer, there's only one thing you can be certain about before diving into it, and that is you can't be certain about what awaits you. And I guess that's where I could've stopped writing a recommendation, booped that blue upvote button and been done with it. But I want to lay out everything I've had brewing in my relatively small mind after finishing the game in order, and what better place is there for that than a publicly visible recommendation, right? Spoilers (in a sense) follow, so feel free to skip the next paragraph.

Somewhere along the way it becomes obvious that the Coda character, who is a centerpiece of the story, and his relationship with narrator, as well as circumstances surrounding it are all fictional, and many will say that Coda is there to embody a part of developer's mind, his creativity, perhaps. It really sells you the premise as genuine at first, but sadly the narrator voice acting, as well as script, gives it away closer to the end. But for the sake of ideas that you can carry out of this game you can play pretend that the Coda's and narrator's story was real, like you pretend the movie's script is real.

And the general idea I carried out is "nobody knows anyone else, ever". Sometimes you have this acquaintance, and you may think you have gained insight into his mind and soul by watching him, his struggles, his life, his work and dreams, but you're viewing it all through the prism of your own perception and worldview, you project yourself onto this person. You must be really careful to not confuse your own reflection for what the other person really is. And in that, communication is integral. Perhaps that's why communication's theme is also brought up so often.

I can see it being called a pretentious walking simulator, and it's probably not far from truth, but it's not important. What is important is that if I found something in these small encapsulated levels, then it was not a waste of time for me. It is not a waste of time if it made me ask questions and answer them to myself. Maybe the questions that are not the of kind that developer intended me to ask, but you know what they say, there's "no such thing as a stupid question".

Moreover, the game brought out that curious feeling about the worlds inside games that I had once a long long time ago, as a kid, a feeling that I've lost as I learned more and more about videogames' mechanics, what makes them tick and where their limitations lie. It became dull to try and push beyond their boundaries, to try and reach distant stars that are drawn on the skybox. But with this game, for a moment, I felt something a bit like that long lost emotion.

All in all, the Beginner's Guide can be hit or miss, but it's short and cheap so hey, what's the worst that can happen if you play it?

Disclaimer: I'm very impressionable and this recommendation was written at 5 am.

Это короткая игра, ее можно пройти за полтора часа. Впрочем скорее даже не игра, а интерактивное кино или расказ.
Крайне рекомендую ее тем для кого создание игр и геймдизайн это не пустой звук. Не тот геймдизайн под которым сейчас некоторые понимают создание коробки Скинера для выманивания у игрока денег или времени, а тот который про левелдизайн, нарратив и разрушение четвертой стены. Это игра как раз про творческие поиски, самовыражение и поиск себя в этом мире.

Из минусов тут только немного завышенная цена(можно подождать распродажи) и остутсвие русской озвучки (можно включить субтитры).

Шедевр
Не уверен, можно ли назвать это игрой, скорее подойдёт слово "проект". Рассказчик повествует нам историю одного начинающего создателя игр, который отличается своим стилем ведения игрока по сюжету. По началу может показаться, что нас просто забрасывают в разные локации и повествуют о их создании, но всё гораздо глубже, чем кажется. Со временем мы начинаем понимать всю философию создателя и его отношение к играм в целом. И они не всегда совпадают с нашим мнением и мнением автора.
При всём этом "The Beginner's Guide" отличается действительно интересным повествованием и продуманным сюжетом, который будет вести нас через весь путь старого друга автора. Отличное музыкальное сопровождение в совокупности с приятным голосом погружают нас в атмосферу игры целиком.
После прохождения игра заставляет вас задуматься и переосмыслить некоторые аспекты значимости смысла.
Впервые за долгое время игра оказала на меня столь сильное эмоциональное воздействие. После её окончания я ещё долго обдумывал все мысли, донесённые до меня автором. Я хочу вернуться туда снова..

В целом это уникальный опыт, который нужно прочувствовать самому.
Must have

As soon as I saw this game, I bought it on impulse, without a second thought. I went into this without watching any trailers, or reading any info. Other than knowing I had enjoyed his other project, The Stanley Parable.That's probably the best state of mind to play this game, as long as you're not expecting it to be another game like that. This is a completely different experience; more experimental and evoking entirely different emotions and reactions. As someone who struggles with my own creativity in terms of expression and finding a balance between seeking validation and keeping certain things for myself...this game was almost uncomfortably personal to me. I've never actually played a game before where it felt like the game was speaking directly to me in some way, or presented to me in such a way that it elicits such a intimate response. I would suggest it to anyone who has a folder full of unpublished games or notebook full of unfinished ideas, or just a mind full of untapped potential. This game is like a secret, warm space you can take some comfort in, because you are not alone.

I loved Stanley, but I love this game so much more. When I started it I was skeptical, but in the end I couldn't put it down and played it all in one sitting. If this were a book -- an apt metaphor in my opinion -- it becomes a page turner quickly. And like a good book, once it was done, I simultaneously wanted more and was thankful that it ended where it did. The whole week after I kept thinking back to it.

Where Stanley was coy with its themes, TBG is a slow-dive deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole. And if it sounds like I'm being vague, it's because I have to -- it's an experience that deserves to not be spoiled.

Set aside an afternoon, put some good headphones on -- do yourself a favor and play this game.

You should play the game without reading what anyone else has to say on it. Don't worry about whether it's worth your money or not. It is... and money is the last thing on your mind after you finish.

这波叙事,就挺突然的,突然在它一点点地渗透积累最后自然而然理所当然的反转高潮。但既然各种意义上新手指南都值得一玩,还是绕开叙事扯扯细枝末节防剧透比较好。而且游戏全程语音没字幕,我这四级过1分的嘤语水平万一扯淡扯飞了,至少不会产生误导。

整个游戏大概是,史丹利寓言的开发者Davey给玩家介绍了一个他喜欢的开发者Coda。

开场没多久Davey提到一点,随流程推进再往回看时会很有意思:玩家更容易看到游戏与他们所预期的、认知中样貌的不同之处,相对的,不太关心其个性化的存在与表达。与本意无关,我在想,虽然我也是传统意义上的创作者,但“作品在公开的那一刻就和作者没关系了甚至和作品本身也没了关系”的确更能代表这个时代,而将作品与作者捆绑“睹物思人”的观念虽没被替代,却显而易见地被压倒了。观众,同样是赋予作品意义的人。只不过,当个人喜好、追求、解读中出现排他排异,从喜A厌B变成因为喜A所以厌B,通过否定他人来满足自己,这事儿的性质就转向了相反的极端。这也恰恰是环境现状。此时Davey的话则意味着一种盲目自负的状态,真相与真相饱含的信息因此不值一提。或者说,一切都不值一提。

之后Davey认为Coda第一个重要灵感的来源是个意外,一个穿墙飞天bug。这里不置可否只谈“意外”。意外的美妙在于它跳出了创作者的意,跳出了创作者的舒适圈,跳出约定俗成顺理成章,对于创作的影响确实值得关注。所以Davey的推测直观上没啥毛病,穿墙飞天bug的确有可能让Coda从全新的角度审视思考场景和场景结构给人带来的别样感受,进而有了后续作品中大量的超现实的尝试。

不过,面对新手指南中各式各样的试验、Davey的鸿篇解读、Coda的平和表达,我完全跑偏去关注Coda在场景设计的视觉表现力上的进展了。从简单的纵深,到冷峻的大透视,再以光影操纵视线,最终自如地发挥:戏剧化情节辅以声光电化,将场景提炼强化,使得看似随意的日常同样可以产生撩动人心的力量。

图像影像中的趣味从何而来?来自抽象与具象两方面的信息。可惜我这水平谈抽象容易把它简化成规律偏离到技法层面,所以各位知道它在那就得。具象信息则可分为两部分,显与藏。显帮助快速把握基调,让观众看到“存在”,藏增加表达的厚度与力度,让观众期待“不存在”。“不存在”又使观众得以从“存在”的束缚中挣脱,整个画面、场景、设定也因此活了、开阔了、具有说服力了。即便这些感受往往是观众自己说服了自己,但这正是创作者预期的结果,所以更准确的,是创作者设套使观众脑补自洽。

说到这其实就很明了了,因为它的应用很广,也不限于视觉艺术,比如山水画以亭台楼阁暗示人迹、悬疑惊悚恐怖镜头的取景与运镜,比如若有所指又似是而非的歌词、模棱两可但主观无罪的鉴赏家评测,包括我在这煞有其事地叨叨你们没法知道我究竟是在浅谈还是扯淡,都是显与藏尤其是藏的运用。再简单点,别把话说满,留下想象的空间。而“Coda”便是把藏玩到了纯熟。各种一眼望不尽的场景,相互遮挡的建筑,走廊,拐角,立柱,夜色中的远景,黑暗中的幽光,经过地形和镜头控制,藏无时无刻无处不在。

至于Davey眼里的Coda/创作者的独立思考个性表达交流碰撞冥思苦想郁郁不得终,等等这些我琢磨着也确实没什么好说的,因为做这行当本来就要面对这些,“无关困苦,都是过程”。反倒,坐回观众席静静欣赏才更有意思更有意义。或刻奇的以小见大,或傲慢的一言以蔽,旁若无人自说自话的过度解读不仅仅会偏离真相——

淡已扯尽,到这里就可以打住了。

可我还是想祝大家都能找到自己的穿墙飞天bug。

This isn't a game but more of an experience. It is a 2 hour one though, before you balk at the price tag and has a heartfelt and well acted script that will ask you questions and perhaps prompt you to do some introspective exercises.

There really isn't much to add here. I was on the fence for a long time about getting this and in the end I am very glad that I did.

I honestly don't know what to say after playing through this, and I think that might just be the point. Sometimes you don't have to say anything. Sometimes you don't need to find a purpose in things, or to try and understand them.
The Beginner's Guide worked like a reboot button for my brain. Definitely recommended.

Последние несколько лет своей жизни я постоянно нахожусь в метаниях между теми или иными вещами. Мне всегда хотелось заниматься творчеством, но я никогда не мог начать. Помимо того, что мне не хватало усидчивости, в глубине души я боялся внимания. Вернее сказать, я боялся осудительного внимания. Когда-то давно я, пытаясь начать писать стихи, прочитал одни из них своей бабушке. Я уже точно не помню её реакцию, но в тот момент я ощутил холод в душе, мне стало больно. Наверное, с того момента я больше не показывал свои стихи никому, а через некоторое время и вовсе перестал их писать, признав, что это не моё. Разумеется, это было совсем не так. Если бы я не воспринял так близко к сердцу слова бабушки, то я, скорее всего, так и продолжил бы писать стихи. Но в итоге я сам себя убедил, что стихи у меня паршивые и писать я их не умею.
Прошли годы. Я смотрел на то, как другие люди в интернете занимаются творчеством и мне хотелось так же. Мне хотелось играть на гитаре, мне хотелось петь, мне хотелось рисовать, мне хотелось создавать игры... Я хотел выражать свои эмоции через творчество, чтобы их увидели люди, чтобы меня похвалили. Но каждый раз, когда я начинал, мне постоянно что-то мешало. Я боялся, что в любой момент кто-то ворвётся в процесс и осудит меня за непрофессионализм, за плохие идеи и прочее. Поэтому каждый раз это приводило к тому, что я забрасывал всё это и больше никогда не прикасался. За последние 4 года на моём компьютере собрался целый файл под названием "Кладбище идей". На момент написания этих слов в нём находится 23 пункта. Я навряд ли когда-нибудь вернусь к ним, потому что... потому что не могу...

Несколько месяцев назад мне подарили на День Рождения скетчбук. Я не знал, что с ним делать, я же не рисую. Думал, что может быть когда-нибудь я буду использовать его как личный дневник, куда можно записывать свои мысли. Но однажды ночью я лежал в постели и слушал музыку, как вдруг заиграла незнакомая мне песня, которая тронула меня. Я включил повтор и наслаждался моментом... Это было прекрасно. Я хотел остаться в таком состоянии навсегда, но понимал, что это невозможно. И тогда я решил, что можно попытаться сохранить частичку своих эмоций на бумаге. Я взял скетчбук и начал рисовать. Это был очень непрофессиональный рисунок. В нём было плохо абсолютно всё. Но мне это было уже неважно.
На сегодняшний день я нарисовал 13 рисунков. Многие из них - перерисованные персонажи из любимых игр, а некоторые - оригинальные идеи, в которых я запечатлел свои эмоции, свои мысли об этом мире, мысли о том, есть ли в этом мире смысл. Все эти работы нарисованы на уровне пятиклассника, но мне наплевать. Я рисую, потому что хочу. Я не могу сказать, что я испытываю какое-то удовольствие от процесса, но когда наступает нужный момент я достаю скетчбук и начинаю рисовать. Мне не интересно учиться рисовать, я хочу делать так, как считаю нужным.

Эта игра очень сильно напомнила мне свою жизнь. Может быть, бабушка и не пыталась загубить во мне тягу к творчеству, может она действительно старалась помочь, хотела, чтобы я упорнее работал над качеством своих стихов. Может быть... Но вышло ведь всё иначе! Я многие годы страдал от того, что я бездарность и что я никогда ничего не добьюсь. Я столько лет уже живу в этом и наконец готов вернуться к тому, с чего начинал.

История, которую рассказывает автор игры, повествует о человеке, который просто хотел создавать игры. Просто занимался тем, что ему нравилось. Эта история о том, что бывает, когда ты пытаешься исправить то, чего исправлять не нужно. И так же это история о том, как порой то, что ты считаешь добрым поступком, может быть совершенно противоположным с точки зрения того, кому ты пытаешься помочь...

Дейви a écrit :
Я хочу заглядывать дальше самих игр. Я хочу понять, каков на самом деле этот человек.

The Beginner's Guide – игра, которую невозможно сравнить с какой-либо другой. У неё нет аналогов. Это то, что можно смело назвать элементом современного искусства. Она по-своему неповторима. А всё почему? Эта игра способна вызывать ваши глубинные чувства: она их находит, достаёт, играет с ними, сжимает, душит, трепит, а потом будто нахально бросает их вам, а вы только этому рады, потому что, возможно, это лучшее, что вы бы могли испытать за весь свой игровой опыт.
Кхм-кхм, простите, давайте пройдёмся по сути.

Сюжет

Сюжет этой игры сначала кажется довольно простым и понятным: Дейви, создатель игры The Stanley Parable, делится с нами играми, которые были созданы его другом Кодой. Большинство из них представляет нам не очень обыкновенный, странный гейм-дизайн и полусырую механику уровней. Благо, что нас сопровождает тот самый Дейви и помогает нам понять мысль и идею, заложенную в этих играх, попутно (прошу запомнить для себя следующее) исправляя "баги и неиграбельные моменты" в играх. Через свою призму видения мира, он пытается показать всю гениальность игр Коды, выражая это тем, что они являлись для него творческим вдохновением. Однако, уважаемый читатель, история движется вперёд и события, ею же движимые, становятся более замысловатыми и неоднозначными. Сюжетная линия The Beginner's Guide принимает всё более крутые повороты, и всё это выглядит, как катящийся и постепенно увеличивающийся снежный шар, который вот-вот непременно раздавит игрока. Так оно и происходит (в переносном смысле, конечно). Вся та тяжесть, которая накапливалась по мере движения сюжета, под финал обрушивается на игрока,
открывая всю правду. Всё это звучит как-то обычно, но я уверяю вас: пройдите эту игру, и вы всё пойметё. Одно лишь скажу, что концовка у The Beginner's Guide заставит вас задуматься о многом и даст пищу для размышлений о всех мотивах Коды в его играх.

Механика

Старый добрый движок Source, добавить больше нечего.

Саундтрек

Господи, сложно представить The Beginner's Guide без его саундтрека: это будто половина составляющей всей игры, и с этим невероятно трудно поспорить. Кажется, что всю музыка к играм будто сам Кода делал, потому что это сочетание можно интерпретировать только одним примером: Инь и ян. Игры и саундтрек к ним будто неделимы, и невозможно представить одно без другого. Огромные благодарности Райану Роту за его титанический труд. Музыкальное оформление позволяет прочувствовать игры Коды именно так, как они задумывались; через них ощущаешь не только глубину задумки игр, но и состояния их автора. Я же говорю: словно Кода приложил руку к созданию саундтрека, который, по своей сути, и является тем ключом к разгадке великого смысла всего, что показано в The Beginner's Guide.

Заключение

Было бы слишком типично, если бы я просто написал 10/10. Мне хочется сказать лишь несколько важных вещей: во-первых, если Вы любитель пофилософствовать и и искать смысл между строк, то эта игра несомненно обязана пополнить Вашу библиотеку. Просто must-have, никак иначе. Во-вторых, если же Вам наскучили и попросту надоели типичные шутеры или RPG, то вам следует рассмотреть факт покупки The Beginner's Guide. Бесспорно, это разнообразит Ваши игровые будни и будет, так сказать, "выходным". Бродилки расслабляют, не так ли? А вообще, для Вас не должно быть разграничений, поэтому просто последуйте следующему совету: покупайте The Beginner's Guide. Это вложение денег будет для Вас куда ценее, чем покупка какой-нибудь раскрученной игры, сделанной без души, уж поверьте.
А на этой ноте, я, пожалуй, остановлюсь и ещё раз скажу: покупайте The Beginner's Guide.

Mentor Píxel - Análisis bit a bit

Davey Wreden es probablemente el único desarrollador de videojuegos que se ha propuesto crear obras tan determinadas a plantear su enfoque meta-gaming y colocar sobre la mesa sus premisas de forma explorativa. Mientras The Stanley Parable aborda el tema de la relación entre el juego y el jugador, The Beginner’s Guide aborda la temática de la relación que existe entre el crítico y el producto —o, mejor dicho, entre el crítico y el autor del producto—, y lo hace siguiendo el mismo formato que el título anterior: un walking simulator ♥♥♥ un narrador consciente de la presencia del jugador; narrador que, en este caso, sería el mismo Davey.

Hola, muchas gracias por jugar The Beginner’s Guide. Mi nombres de Davey Wreden. Escribí The Stanley Parable y, aunque ese juego cuenta una historia bastante absurda, hoy voy a contarte una serie de acontecimientos que ocurrieron entre 2008 y 2011. Vamos a echar un vistazo a los juegos creados por un amigo mío llamado Coda.

Así comienza The Beginner’s Guide, ♥♥♥ una invitación de parte de Davey para analizar una serie de juegos independientes creados por su amigo, Coda. Dicho inicio marca la premisa del título, el cual es tomar al jugador de la mano y llevarlo por el proceso de la crítica hacia los videojuegos, y, en el camino, analizar al autor de los mismos (su personalidad, su proceso creativo y hasta sus estados anímicos). De manera tal que The Beginner’s Guide no es en sí un juego ♥♥♥ fines lúdicos, sino más bien es un tour a través de varios pequeños juegos independientes, y será el mismo narrador, Davey, quien nos dirá cómo se deben interpretar estos juegos para conocer a su autor.

Algo que queda enfatizado desde el principio del juego es que los juegos creados por Coda fueron hechos para su disfrute personal y no para el público, por lo que la única manera de conocer estos pequeños softwares es mediante Davey. Y algo que hace este narrador para mostrarnos los juegos de Coda desde “dentro”, y argumentarnos sus interpretaciones, será intervenir en ellos: en algunas ocasiones podrá hacer las paredes transparentes para mostrarnos los pasillos de un nivel, o abrirnos ciertas puertas para que podamos abrir paso; esto ♥♥♥ el fin de que no solo veamos los juegos de Coda desde la perspectiva del jugador, sino también desde la perspectiva del diseñador.

Es imposible hacer un análisis de The Beginner’s Guide sin hacer spoilers sobre su contenido. Sin embargo, sí es posible bordear una discusión sobre los temas que trata. A este respecto, el título lidia de manera muy meta-textual las intenciones del crítico al analizar un producto. Uno de los estipulados que veremos realizarse eventualmente en el juego es el hecho de que el ego del crítico en realidad está construido sobre su misma habilidad para decirle a la gente qué inteligentes e interesantes son los juegos; juegos que no son producidos por él, sino por otras personas. Por tanto, ¿es un hecho que el crítico se hace un nombre a expensas de otros? Y si ese es el caso, ¿qué tanto le conviene al crítico interpretar y analizar los juegos de una u otra manera para conseguir la aprobación del público? Como quien dice: “Sí, mírenme, tengo muchas habilidades lingüísticas e interpretativas a la hora de analizar este medio interactivo. Quiero hacerme un nombre, tener renombre, ser reconocido. Sentirme bien conmigo mismo. Tener una audiencia que me siga”. Y sí, es cierto que en el caso de muchos reseñadores, comentaristas y críticos estas ideas dan a luz, sutilmente, pero el caso es que The Beginner’s Guide me las ha gritado en la cara, me ha expuesto, como parte de su audiencia objetivo, y no puedo sino, como todo comentarista ante este escenario, reconocer y dar mi cara ante dicha verdad.

Luego del lanzamiento de The Beginner’s Guide han habido ciertos rumores entre el círculo de críticos sobre la identidad del Davey Wreden del juego, argumentado que no es en realidad el Davey Wreden real. ¿Pero no es el mismo narrador del juego el que afirma que The Beginner’s Guide se basa en acontecimientos que ocurrieron entre 2008 y 2011? El caso es este: luego del lanzamiento de The Stanley Parable, Wreden hizo una declaración personal en su blog sobre haber sufrido un período de ansiedad intenso al recibir tanta atención debido al éxito de su juego, y por las distintas acogidas que hizo la crítica acerca del mismo. Y, dos años después, lanza The Beginner’s Guide, narrado por él mismo, ♥♥♥ la premisa de “venga, analicemos una serie de juegos para conocer a su autor”... ¿Y esto lo hace como respuesta a qué? ¿Cómo respuesta a la misma audiencia de críticos que sobre-analizaron The Stanley Parable? ¿Es entonces Coda una persona real o un alter-ego del mismo Davey Wreden luego del lanzamiento de dicho juego? ¿Es el Davey Wreden del juego (el narrador) una interpretación de él mismo o, más bien, representa la audiencia que criticó The Stanley Parable?

Al final, hay al menos dos maneras de leer este juego:

  1. Es la historia de un hombre tan desesperado por la aprobación del público que destruye la obra de otra persona y pierde su amistad; una advertencia para desarrolladores, creadores y artistas sobre cómo los límites entre las obras que crean y sus vidas personales pueden ser irrespetadas, y, a la vez, una parábola para críticos sobre ir demasiado lejos y leer muy entre líneas un producto. Un juego que dice que cualquier análisis de un juego es mayormente una auto-proyección de nosotros mismos como críticos y genios idealizados de la industria, para hacernos sentir bien ante una audiencia. Un juego ♥♥♥ un estandarte de “anti-crítico”. Y este es mi problema ♥♥♥ este enfoque al momento de interpretar The Beginner’s Guide. En lo personal, me hace sentir atacado. Es por ello que prefiero el enfoque alterno, el que, según creo, apunta a la realidad y, en vez de hacerme sentir pisoteado, me hace sentir como el que tiene la bota...
  2. The Beginner’s Guide es un juego sobre el litigio de Davey Wreden al lidiar ♥♥♥ el éxito de The Stanley Parable, sobre cómo las personas forzaban sus interpretaciones en su juego, sobre su temor de no poder seguir haciendo títulos de este estilo y perder la chispa creativa, sobre la idea de que necesita de la aprobación de los demás para seguir adelante como desarrollador independiente. Pero si tomo este enfoque interpretativo, estoy cayendo en el error que comete el crítico de la industria del entretenimiento, el error que el juego trata de denunciar: tratar de examinar a un autor mediante su obra. Y… ¿es de esto de lo que se trata The Beginner’s Guide de, de alguna manera u otra, hacer sentir aludidos a los críticos mediante un argumento de hombre de paja, mediante una indirecta, sea atacándolos sutilmente (1) o hacerlos sentir vulnerables por su mismo proceder (2)? Porque ciertamente este otra lectura del juego me hace sentir vulnerado, y expuesto.

Entonces, ¿cómo debería interpretarse The Beginner’s Guide?

Never before have I experienced anything quite like it.
It takes you away and makes you feel completley submerged.

This game is very personal.
Beware that it might hit you in the feels.

I feel emotionally drained.

C'est plus une expérience qu'un jeu, et TBG rejoint sur cet aspect le jeu précédent de Davey Wreden, The Stanley Parable.
Pas de score, pas de danger, pas d'ennemi, et pas de casse-tête problématique.

La narration (en anglais, sous titré avec précision) est prépondérante.

Ce "jeu" propose de parcourir des niveaux ou des scènes en 3D qui mettent en évidence des réflexions sur la création, la solitude, l'insatisfaction, le manque de confiance, etc...
Comme dans Stanley, le joueur est manipulé : on le perd, on le trompe, on l'oblige... et forcément on le rend réceptif à une réflexion psychologique indolore mais assez profonde.
Sans s'ennuyer, on se balade, on écoute le monsieur, on cherche les leviers, on passe au niveau suivant, si différent...
Et on dit merci en partant.

I played through this, not really knowing anything or expecting anything particular.

I feel like I was violated and violated someone or something in return.
I cried so much. This game is part me and probably part you.

I showered while sitting on the floor afterwards. I thought I was done crying.
I'm not.

This is not a fun experience. This game is dread, sadness, loneliness, desperation, anxiety, and a conclusion that I am not sure is a good message for some. Because in the end, nearly everything in this game is unhealthy behaviour. Because communication could have solved a lot. Instead, there is a lot of pain.

DO NOT PLAY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT IN A GOOD PLACE AT THE MOMENT.

It is a very intelligent and though provoking experience though. Worth your time, if you are up for a good no fun story.

Let me start this review with the fact that this game is not like anything you have ever played.
It does not involve shooting, car chases or any type of sports. instead, it tells a story.

I won't include any actual info about the story since it's the only thing this game has to offer. it might sound like not enough, but once you'll play this game start to finish, you'll understand what i'm talking about.

The game maybe be a bit short, but it really does not need any more time to prove itself.
it's just so deep and sophisticated, you will ponder it's meaning for days after you finished it.

If you have time, spare cash or just looking to diverse a bit, i definitely recommend this short game experience..

This game is an emotional ride. It is one of the most perfect discourses on loneliness, illness, and perception/misperception. At only a few hours long, it is a succinct exposition on what it feels like to be alone, to be depressed, and to be anxious. Does that sound like a bad thing? Well, it's not. It's like a breath of fresh air to not only hear about these taboo subjects, but visualize them, feel the depth and breadth of them, and actually understand the yearning in it.

If you are going through a hard time, play this game. If you think no one understands you, play this game. If you need help with your own issues, play this game. Or if you simply want to be moved by another's story, play this game. It is eminently relatable to any and all. Unless you are an abiotic robot, ofc. :p

It's a very powerful experience. And it even offers a solution. Get it! Cheaper than therapy, lol.

以下内容是对剧情的感想,谈谈游戏中将我震撼/触动的地方,涉及严重剧透,酌情浏览

1、出现BUG的光柱,在BUG作用下升空后看到了宇宙的宏观景象
2、充满点子的房间内漂浮的点子

3、整理房间关卡中的配乐(曲名:Va, 人声/编写 by Helina Heron)

4、持“枪”杀死自己的时候房间碎裂,房间内对Coda的拷问文字
5、在漫长的塔内旅行的时候,最后结束的时候突然在游戏中看到了Coda给作者的留言。出现的是如此突然,但是句句揪心。
6、作者陷入深深的自责的时候,一段漫长的步行。这一段的场景我是觉得最美的。宽广的候车大厅、类似于海边的沙滩(迷之逻辑美)、最后长长的的甬道。这一段把无尽的、浪漫的孤独感发挥到了极致。这一段的音乐也很棒叫做Depature,作曲Ryan Roth
7、呼应开头,将你送上天空的光柱。那一段壮丽的景象让人不禁落泪(至少我鼻子一酸),配上Ryan Roth的配乐
8、游戏结束,Halina Heron唱的《Turn Back》,感觉自己仿佛得到天启,经历了一段唯美、宏伟的心灵历程

———
又过了很久回来评价这款游戏,客观评价一下吧
首先,期望着像是《史丹利预言》一样给你惊喜的玩家,我想说的是会让你有点小失望。这款游戏中,玩家将要体验的是一种超越现实的、自己能参与进去的视觉小说。
我觉得隐隐约约中,应该能感觉的到有很多和我一样喜欢这种超现实的作品的玩家。我的意思是,这款游戏的画面精美吗?精美。但是足够精致吗?不精致。但是偏偏那些场景和画面所体现的逻辑感,让那种孤独一个人的浪漫达到极致。
至于为什么叫做《新手指南》,我想作者用一个时长达到1小时多的游戏切切实实的告诉了我们。如果你感觉不能理解,或者感觉他在浪费你的时间,我觉得也是情有可原的。但是我觉得这款游戏和《史丹利的寓言》相比,精致和用心程度一点也没有减少。
——————
我觉得,可能只有内心真正孤独的人才在玩这个游戏的时候才能感觉到这个游戏的美感吧。
然后,实名反对底下的一个差评。这个差评提到这个游戏相比前作,少了游戏性,缺少了玩家的互动。但是你真的玩过这个游戏吗?游戏作者就是在探讨【游戏应不应该有游戏性,或者让玩家做出选择】。这才是这个游戏想表达的一个核心思想。

Ein emotionales Meisterwerk über menschliche Schwächen, Interpretationen und die Narrative als Kunstform - Man kann nicht viel darüber sagen ohne den magischen Effekt des Games zu zerstören.

Es gibt kein ähnliches Game was so mit der Erwartungshaltung und dem Medium spielt wie The Beginners Guide, es ist als würde das Game die Gedanken die man während des Spielens hat gegen dich nutzen um dir eine noch stärkere Erfahrung zu geben.

Absolutes Pflichtspiel für jeden Fan von Storygames - 9/10

I'm going through my entire library and putting a minimum of an hour into each game and then reviewing them, here is mine for The Beginner's Guide:

Really good, but also feels kinda pretentious at times. Developed by one of the developers of the stanley parable, you can definitly tell a lot of time and love went into this game. As walking sims go I def recommend it overall.

Honestly, I am pretty much speechless. No game or story line should I say, has ever made me this speechless. Ignore the negative reviews about it being "pointless", "a waste of time", or "too short". It is absolutely none of those. An hour and a half is plenty long for a game like this. It is made to have no goals or objectives (like the game description says), but it is not pointless. It will resonate with everyone differently, and by the end of the game, everyone will have a different summary of the game even though we all heard the same story. Of course, be aware the game is somewhat depressing and not for everyone and it's not easily understandable (but I feel it is meant to be that way because the description states this, ". . . a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand."). It's one of those games that's gonna stick with you for a while for sure.

I just played this game from start to finish in one sitting.

Wow.

That is what I found myself saying.

Wow.

Just wow.

This is why I play games. This is what I live for.

I love to see this sort of personal journey. This journey through feelings. Through life.

It is so meaningful, so deep. Haunting even.

This is art. Art of one’s self; of one’s mind.

It was beautiful. Beautiful.

Beautiful.


Thank you Davey.
And thank you Coda.

This is what (postmodern) art should be.

It is a challenging piece--it does not ask a lot of you for the 2 hours or so while you are holding the controller, but does ask a lot of you for the hours (days, weeks, months, years) thereafter when you will still be thinking about it. That time will not necessarily be an entirely comfortable experience--but it may also be beautiful and resonant. Well worth your time and money.

We will never get to know other people, and this feeling is so terrible. Do we really need empathy? If needed, why doesn't it work as it should? Where is the line between me and the other person? How much have I already ruined by trying to be good? Do my feelings even matter?
This is awesome game, go play it

今天仔细想了想这个游戏,这个游戏可能比我之前以为的要深刻,或者说有趣许多。

你们知道魔术吗?魔术的本质就是让你以为的,并不是你以为的。

游戏的旁白意味着什么?
游戏里什么时候开始你会认为旁白一定说的是真话?
因为它一开始以一种貌似客观或反省的语气吗?
什么是对的,什么是错的?
什么是真的,什么又是假的?

从游戏一开始,作者就开始暗示我们:
你看到的只是作者想要你看到的。
而你看不到的地方,可能还有许多许多:
异或是星空,异或是迷宫。

什么事情都真的是你所看到的那样吗?
coda的作品最后都有一个路灯,象征着某个目的?
从最后一关可以看出并非如此,但真的仅仅如此吗?
coda意味着什么?coda是谁?coda真的存在吗?
旁白就是作者自己吗?

来谈谈别的吧。

你们还记得魔术吗?魔术的本质就是让你以为的,并不是你以为的。

说起来有点拗口,我记得我曾看过一部关于魔术的电影,讲述的是各式各样的魔术,和与敌人的互相揭秘,魔术越来越庞大,但都被巧妙的手法或诡计圆了回来,结果到最后一幕,魔术有个怎么都不可能的死结,我绞尽脑汁,希望想出一个可能的解答,结果电影最后告诉观众这是魔法!(笑)然后影片就结束了。

我第一次看到这里时,简直想把编剧掐死,这种强行翻转,这不是硬生生毁了一部电影吗?之后我才意识到:凭什么电影不能出现魔法?之前也有过暗示,但就凭他们一直讲科学,你就以为这不是一部玄幻电影吗?电影里什么不可能发生?是什么让你对电影不可能出现魔法的错觉?是电影名字?还是前半段严谨的氛围?还是主角和反派们一直在讲科学?

那当然是啊,所有的都是啊。这就是魔术啊。

还记得魔术的本质吗?魔术的本质就是让你以为的,并不是你以为的。
你以为这是一部讲魔术的电影,其实都是魔法,瞧,这是个多么漂亮的魔术。
你以为的,并不是你以为的。

生命本就是一场盛大的演出,而游戏和文字,存在本身就是一个魔术。




最后我要说,那部关于魔术的电影,其实并不存在,是我编出来骗你的。
你以为的,并不是你以为的。
晚安。

This is not a conventional game. It is only about an hour and a half long and I would not recommend it to anyone.

HOWEVER

If you're a creative of any kind, regardless of your medium, whether you're an aspiring amateur or a seasoned professional, you need to experience this game and story. Chances are that you will find many relatable points in regards to the creative struggle, self-doubt and motivation (or lack thereof), both as the artist and the person looking in from the outside.

I cannot recommend this game enough if you fall into that category. This narrative will stick with you and make you think.

Excellent Bite-Size Narrative Adventure
From the developer of The Stanley Parable comes another excellent title. Similar to TSP; this title is a walking simulator coupled with a really strong narrative. This was one of those titles for me that was always on my radar thanks to my enjoyment of TSP however I never got around to it. I jumped in blind after a seasonal sale and it well worth the experience.

If you haven't heard anything about this game and enjoy narrative titles just do yourself a favor and pick it up to play without looking into it. It is a short under two hour experience that will leave you with some very interesting thoughts and perspective.

Deberías jugar The Beginner's Guide.
Creo que el problema (si es correcto llamarlo así, pues este "problema" radica en la opinión de los fans sobre The Beginner's Guide) es que la gente no está acostumbrada a sentarse en frente de un monitor para al cabo de dos horas, hallarse ♥♥♥ la mirada perdida al haberse dado cuenta de algo nuevo sobre sí mismos. Hay una cosa que me molesta en particular sobre esta sociedad, y es la obsesión ♥♥♥ la felicidad. Hay que vivir el momento, siempre tener una sonrisa en el rostro y reírse a cada oportunidad que se presente. Y sí, la felicidad está bien, pero, ¿acaso cuando te vas a la cama te cuentas un chiste a ti mismo, y concilias el sueño al cabo de la carcajada resultante?
Estoy siendo exagerado, pero lo que estoy intentando decir es que no todo son carcajadas y albricias en la vida, a veces lo más reconfortante es meterte en la cama y darte cuenta de que has aprendido algo más sobre la vida y la perspectiva de los demás sobre la misma.
Me niego a darle a The Beginner's Guide la etiqueta de "videojuego", pues no contiene los pilares que la industria de este ha ido desarrollando a lo largo de la historia. No es divertido, no es largo, no puedes jugar ♥♥♥ amigos y por supuesto no es rejugable. Pero es una experiencia que nos hace pensar, y en un mundo movido por el pulsar botones a la velocidad de la luz, un poco de reflexión no viene mal.
Todos tenemos un Coda dentro. Deberías reconciliarte ♥♥♥ él. Juega The Beginner's Guide.

既然做出了游戏那就分享出来吧。一起体验欢乐愉悦的气氛吧。
为什么要藏着掖着呢?
不要害怕自己的作品他人怎么看
只要内容正统,没有任何恶意,就算是评价再低又如何呢?
敞开心扉,与人交流,多分享自己的产品吧Coda。非常希望你能继续下去……
来自于史丹利的寓言同样的作者,但是与TSP的气氛完全不相似。
值得去玩的一个体验他人心理历程的游戏。
Forgive him, Coda. And pls keep making games. We are waiting for you.

英語わからない人への警告:
すばらしいけど本当に英語わからないとダメ。スタンリーぐらいの英語なら、と思って買うとたぶん何も理解できずに終わる。ただThe Stanley Parableより日本語化が難しそうな内容なのでやりたい人は気長に待つべし。

どちらかというと物作りが好きな人向け。クリエイティブ職についてる人間の誰しもが欲っする承認欲求と、自分の本当に作りたいものを人気が出るにつれて「一般向け」に対応していかなければいかないという使命感、そしてユーザーの期待という名のプレッシャー。これらがすごくよく描かれている「作品」だと思う。下手すると絵をかいたりゲームを作ったりそれ関連のことを一切知らない人や、ただゲームがやりたい人がやっても伝わりにくいものだとは思う。ただ、逆にそういうものにかかわった経験のある人、興味がある人、Dear EsterやThe Stanley Parableをやって面白さを感じた人であれば、この「作品」は色々考えさせられる素晴らしい物だと思う。

そしてもし、これを日本語化などがされたときに将来やりたいと思っている人がここにいれば、The Beginner's Guideに関する情報は基本的には見ない方がいいだろう。

This is not a fun game. If you wanted to feel good about yourself, or about your experience with this game, do not buy it. This game is about seclusion. This game is about betrayed expectations. This game is about demons and dreams of drowning. You are stuck and whatever was supposed to help you has failed. Walk. Try to listen. Try to learn. You won't feel good. You may even feel terrible, as I do.

Play it. Search for the meaning.

The Beginner's Guide
Whether you consider games to be an art form or not, story-telling certainly is, and that is where this game excels. The Beginner's Guide truly is one of the most genuine pieces of entertainment in recent years. It is like a personal essay, but in cinematic form, embodying feelings of projection, depression, inadequacy, and a plea for help. It is masterful at what it seeks to do. Nothing more, nothing less truly a powerful experience.

The Source Engine was used to create the various short gameplay experiences you will have along your journey, so they may not have the prettiest visuals. Yet if you look at the environments from a more artistic perspective You will realize just how beautiful each short scenario is in how they portray their messages.

Everything has meaning, from the aesthetics to the level design, whether simple or complex. The creator knows that it is not the most photorealistic or pleasing game out there, and therefore does not try to make it visually appealing. He instead incorporates that feeling through set-pieces throughout the environment and creates an artistically good-looking game through clever design and creativity.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack for The Beginner's Guide is simply immaculate. It is ambient music done right, with impactful tracks that leave a lasting mark. Every score creates the perfect atmosphere and tension required to evoke the emotion that the level showcases. Ryan Roth truly hit it out of the park. He even managed to incorporate many small details within each track that make them all feel so unique and astonishing, especially when combined with the setting.

One of my favorite examples is "Shutter", It is a track that plays during a level where the whole theme is that you can only go backward. It creates this ominous and mysterious tension which causes the player to be cautious and confused. If you were to stop and listen to the track you would notice how it is played backwards. If you reversed it, back to the original state, it sounds much less ominous and just purely puzzling. Replaying that level with this in mind makes the quotes scattered throughout feel even more impactful than originally perceived.

The ending credits song, also by Ryan, truly is beautiful, it features Halina Heron, it portrays depression, and how it is mentally and physically draining. It depicts how one can have the weight of the world on their shoulders forcing them to give in while encouraging those suffering to not let it happen. Give it another shot, you can do it if you try! So turn back and try again "But I know that you're strong." "so turn back, turn back."

Gameplay
The gameplay is much like That Dragon, Cancer. In the sense that it is an incredibly immersive narrative game that tells a short but touching story while exploring powerful themes throughout it. It is a linear and curated vision of small unpublished games created in the Source engine. Some people would describe it as a walking simulator with the occasional interactive element, but that is discrediting it. The Beginner's Guide truly is a cinematic experience within the medium of video games.

The narration is the meat of the game. Davey Wreden does an excellent job creating this bond between himself and the player. Throughout the game, you almost become one with him. You start relating to what he says and piece together that no one is perfect, not him, Coda nor you. The imperfections begin to shine as you progress further into the story. And, it would not have been as heart-wrenching if it were not for Davey's incredible voice acting guiding us through Coda's games.

Story
At face value, The Beginner's Guide is essentially an autobiographical story about Davey Wreden's relationship with a programmer that we know as "Coda" throughout their lives between 2008 and 2011. How it started, how it ended, and in between. The player gets put right into Davey's shoes as he explains everything from his perspective of this heart-rending story. That is at least at face value, but if you delve further into it you will realize that there lies a much deeper story about Davey Wreden himself within that story, regarding his life, success, and depression.

Additional Note(s):
It is a short but powerful game, roughly 90 minutes long.

Final Thoughts
All in all The Beginner's Guide is an extremely fascinating and thought-provoking game that has some of the best character-driven storytelling in recent years, alongside being backed by an outstanding soundtrack and incredible narration. It will leave a lasting mark on you, and I could not recommend it enough.

"Stop adding lampposts to my games."

Coda

I am taking this quote in my grave, it really hits me.

You know what guys? I think this is the very last game of Coda, I mean the whole Beginner's Guide. It's a reminder for everyone saying that you should NEVER give up at things that you like the most and also to DO NOT let anyone destroy them for you. This game isn't created to be disassembled, it's created for you to play it whenever you feel down and you want to collect some courage again and live the life that you really deserve, it's here to remind yourself that everything you're doing is worth it and it's yours. This game is truly a masterpiece. Make your dreams come true guys and remember that your only enemy is yourself.

I was here.

Da haben wir es schon: Wie fange ich eine Review über ein Spiel an, was man einfach nicht in Worte fassen kann? Was ein derart überwältigt, dass man einfach nicht mehr weiß was man sagen soll? Vielleicht beginne ich einfach am Anfang.

Ich habe von dem Spiel gehört und erwartet es wäre etwas wie "The Stanley Parable". Von den Bildern die ich bis dahin gesehen habe, kam das auch ganz gut hin. Also habe ich ohne darüber nachzudenken dieses Spiel gekauft. Und ich war überrascht. Es ist komplett anders als das, was ich erwartet habe. Eigentlich ist es nur ein Hörbuch. Und an dieser Stelle werde ich nun aufhören weiter über das Spiel zu reden, denn wie eingangs erwähnt: Man kann es einfach nicht beschreiben.

Wenn du dir noch keinen Trailer angeguckt hast: Lass es! Kauf dir das Spiel und spiele es. In ca. 1,5 Stunden bist du durch. Und das nicht nur mit dem Spiel. Es regt zum Nachdenken an. Zum Handeln.

Bu oyunu oynayacak arkadaşlar ilk once şunu bilmeli ki ismi her ne kadar bir oyun olsada tam tanımı bu değil. Aslın da oyun kısmında biz yokuz. Oyunu yapan Davey Wreden'in iç dünyasının ona oynadığı oyunlara şahitlik ediyoruz. Bir nevi Dear Esther kivaminda ilerleyen, Coda adini verdigi ve muhtemelen kendisinden bahsettiği bu yürüme simülasyonunda oyun üretme aşamasında çektiği sıktıntı ve bunalımları anlatıyor bize aslında. Sanki bir arkadaşından bahsediyormuşcasına. Üreticiliğinin bittiği ve kendini tükenmiş hissettiği zamanlarda ki psikolojik durumlarını betimliyor oyun boyunca ve kendinizi onun yerine koymanızı istiyor bir yerde ve onu anlamanızı. Ki oyun boyunca vurucu kelimelerle bahsettiği oyun yapma sürecinin ne denli sancılı, ne denli zor ve yorucu olduğunu, oyun yapanı hem psikolojik hemde fiziki olarak nasıl tükettiğini anlatıyor. Klasik oyuncu hareketlerini analiz ederek size kendi dünyasında bu oyuncu profilleri üzerinden dersler veriyor ve yapılanın ne kadar zor bir iş olduğunu sizi de içine katarak uygulamalı olarak gösteriyor. Bir ♥♥♥ yerde kendinizi onun yerine koyarak sadece oynadiginiz bu oyunda bile kapana kısılmış gibi hissediyorsunuz. İşte bu da The Beginner's Guide'in size anlatmak istediği temel konu oluyor. Kısacası bu simülasyon ile eğlenceli zamanlar geçirmeyi düsünmeyin. Çünkü oyun eğlendirmek yerine biraz üzücü ve karamsar havası ile size bir mesaj iletmeye çalışıyor. Ve bu mesajı İngilizce olarak iletiyor ama İngilizcesi olmayan arkadaşlar için yardım sever bir arkadaş Türkçe yamasını da çıkarmış. O yüzden bu yama ile sizde bu ilginç deneyime katilip Davey Wreden'in aklına girebilirsiniz..

This game made me weep.

This game is beautiful like precious few things in this world are.

I haven't read any other reviews, but I'm sure I won't be the first to say that this is one of those games that is better off not described or summarized. It should just be played.

If you're a sensitive soul or just enjoy a compelling story I strongly recommend this game.

I'm not one to write reviews generally, but this short narrative was an amazing experience. It takes you for a few twists and turns, and gets you introspectively thinking. In my personal opinion, don't take everything said by the narrator at face value, dig a little deeper for the meaning. But, ya know, the possibility still stands - who am I!

Be warned; this is not a game, at least in the traditional sense of the word. Honestly, the medium it best resembles is a short story. If you're willing to go into it expecting mainly narration and little in the way of traditional interactiveness, then the Beginner's guide is a brilliant short story that explores the nature of storytelling, loneliness, and the video game genre itself.

Although it winds up being less dark than I anticipated, you should be prepared to confront themes of depression and loneliness.

Too often, people equate a game's value and its length, when they really shouldn't. I don't have that much free time, so it's hard for me to really get invested in long games, so when a game like this manages to condense a meaningful story into a short experience such as this, I'm usually satisfied.

A lot of the game's themes were personally relatable, and I'm glad I had this experience. If you're hesitant, and haven't really liked other walking simulator type games, then you probably won't like this one. But if you're willing to try playing a game and analyzing it in the same way one would a book, then I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Before I start, I want to warn others of a technical issue that I had with this game. I had a tough time trying to boot up this game. When I first tried to play it, it simply went back to my desktop. I received an error message about a -language gameinfo.txt being missing. What solved it finally was switching its compatibility to Windows XP. It's apparently an issue with the source engine itself and it didn't ruin the experience, but I just wanted to give a warning to others just in case it happens again.

After taking some time to digest the content and questions this game (games) has brought up. I think I figured out what to say. This is not a typical type of game. Its a walking simulator meant to be calm and conversational. Its meant to engage the player through the levels that the narrator shows while also leaving questions for the player to ponder themselves.

I guess the best way I could describe it is through my experience. I'm very passionate about game development and its potential as an art medium, so when i found out about this game, I was excited to see someone's view of the developmental process. What I wasn't expecting was the game to evolve into a commentary about how we project ourselves on creators and how potentially damaging that could be.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Dave, the narrator, frames his usage of his old friend Coda's levels as a way to help him, thinking that if "reclusive" Coda sees how much people love his work then it might encourage him to return to making more levels. Throughout the game, you start to wonder if Dave was in the right to release these levels that were obviously never meant to see the light of day. Then bomb shell was dropped: The last level loads up and towards the end of it, you walk into a room with messages from Coda to Dave.
"We can't be friends anymore."
"Stop adding lamp posts to my levels!"
"I didn't tell you to show my levels to the public. You have no right."
"You need to work on your own issues before we can talk again. This isn't normal."
This game wasn't an old friend trying to reach out to an outsider; this game was of a social recluse obsessing over the one friend he had and projecting his issues on to him until the relationship fell apart. This game was of a socially awkward man clutching to the remains of the only friendship he had.


It was gut punch, not only because it finally showed the true face of the game's story but also because I somewhat related to the narrator's position.

I'm still reflecting over the story of the game so i'm sorry if my points aren't very clear. All I can say is that while this game is not a typical video game, it is most definitely a piece of art that will make you reflect upon yourself. If you like games like that, then by all means: buy it.

I've recommended this to close friends before and they always come back to me completely floored and in a sense changed by the experience of playing this game. I was too, when I first played it. This game is an experience. The best way to take it in, in my opinion, is to open it fullscreen and sit and play through the entire thing in one sitting (which isn't difficult, full gameplay is only about 2-3 hours). I usually play with subtitles on because my audio processing can be difficult, but I would also recommend playing with subttitles off if that is possible for you. This is one of the few things where I would say that.

This connected deeply with friends of mine who were also creators (whether it be writing, painting, game development, or something else) as an experience they have had from both sides of the situation. I just replayed this for the first time in years, and it still hits just as hard, and with a more contemplative taste as well for me considering the situation I first played it in. I'm not going to go into any details because this is a game you have to experience for yourself, fresh, to get the full impact, but I will say:

I first played TBG when I was gifted it by a friend. It was following closely on the heels of a very big change in my life, where I had had a large falling out with some people who I considered very dear to my heart. This had happened because of the person I was at the time and the way I interacted with those people, and they were right to leave. I played this game fully through in one sitting, the lights dark in my room, it was night so there wasn't much other sound and I put headphones in. I have a vivid memory of standing in the train station in the Epilogue and taking a moment to walk around and look around the station and listening to the narration and I just started crying and I took my hand off the mouse to just cry for a little while. It all hit very strongly and very close to home.

Even as in the narrative itself, he is still repeating these same mistakes, still doesn't quite understand, it's the beginning. It's the crack of the shell to see the little rays of light come in and tell you something else is out there, that this isn't the way it has to be. It truly is The Beginner's Guide. It gives you the journey, the feeling, the catalyst. It shows you how things can be, that you don't live in your own world, that your actions and the way you interpret others is not objective, you're not always right, and you effect others with everything you do and say, even if you don't realize it or realize why it effects them the way it does. This was a heavy emotional story that I played at the right time in my life for it to have it's full impact on me and reduce me to tears. It cut through everything and opened the most vulnerable parts of me to stark, cold, brightness and I felt gutted by how personal and intimately the story connected with me. And in the epilogue, it showed me that there was a way to come back. That this was the beginning. That there was another side. That "I have a lot of work to do." And that gave me such hope. It gave me such a strong, intense, gutted hope at such a low time in my life in a way that said "Yes. I've seen what you've done. I know, and you know too, what was bad and what you did wrong. But this is just the beginning. It doesn't end here. The world doesn't end here. Leave. Step away. Let the silence in. Let the thoughts come in. Take your time. Now you have the knowledge, the tools: Save yourself. Change yourself." And I can't express how powerfully that hit me and how much this game changed the course of my life and set the foundation for me to become the person I am now and the person I will be in the future. Thank you.

As a game: not really that good.
As a rollercoaster of emotions: wow, yes.

I'm not entirely sure quite what the intention of this game was (or even the facts behind it), but you end up feeling a lot of different emotions. It draws you in very well, and I know it's going to stick in my mind for many years.

I can see why some people would completely hate it, but I quite enjoyed playing it, and even enjoyed mopping up the tears.

如果《史丹利的寓言》告诉你,人生充满选择,而你要谨慎抉择;
那么,这款游戏告诉你,要去尊重别人的选择,理解别人的生活方式;
没有什么人是需要你去拯救的,也没有什么人永远会对你敞开心扉,让你了解他的内在……
化肥的寓言制作组款款出精品。
这是一个很致郁的游戏。
每一个人玩起来的感受都会不同。
孤独也好,恐惧也好,伤感也好……
你需要买下它,自己去体会。

I am... an emotional wreck. When I first heard about this, it was because of the Stanley Parable, and therefore I had thought this was going to comedy. I was absolutely wrong. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to the content. Even if it gave me a lot of thoughts and could possibly spiral myself downward through hypothetical stuff, it was worth the money.

I've never played the Stanley Parable. I haven't even heard of the guy, Davey Wreden.
At first I thought it would've been a horror-esque or some creepy surreal game.
It turned out neither. It turned out none of the things I thought it was going to be.
It hit too close to home. But I don't hate it.
I love it, instead.

This is a really a story narration combined with a walking simulator.....and it packs a punch.
The way the game unfolds can be a bit tedious, but it visually chops and changes, so you don't get bored. It is a story of a relationship between 2 men and highlights the need within ourselves to be someone important. We tend to compare ourselves harshly with others.
It also highlights the assumptions, judgements and interpretations we can have about someone...and the effects and consequences this can have on the relationship. This is followed by the self-realisation of your own needs and actions driven by pride and ego...and the atonement you have to make.
We are all different and react in different ways. Therefore it is beholden to us all to accept one another as we are because we have so much to learn from each other. I'll get down from my soap box now!!
This was just over 2 hours play. No action, but can depress some people with its content. 6/10

The Beginner's Guide лучше всего описать теми словами, которыми она преподносит сама себя: "Это нарративная игра Дейви Вредена, автора The Stanley Parable. Она длится полтора часа, здесь нет традиционных механик, целей и задач. Вместо этого игра рассказывает историю человека, пытающегося справиться с проблемой, которую он не понимает".

Я бы даже сказал, что перед нами не игра, а интерактивный документальный фильм (не то чтобы это было что-то плохое, да и многие представители жанра Walking Simulator оставляют то же ощущение). Здесь нет каких-то значимых решений и особого геймплея, только ряд локаций и голос рассказчика, размеренно крадущийся к вашему сердцу. И если The Stanley Parable начисто сносит крышу своей сатирой и безумной изобретательностью сторителлинга, то здесь повествование куда более спокойное, глубокое и драматичное.

Основные темы: игра как средство самовыражения, самовыражение в глазах аудитории, отражение аудитории обратно на автора игры, существование творчества в ящике стола на опушке леса (издаёт ли оно звук, если его вопля никто не слышит?) и т.д. Разумеется, Дейви не был бы сам собой, если бы просто рассказал историю. В определённый момент даются довольно толстые намёки на нечто большее.

Stanley Parable - одна из моих самых любимых игр. Beginner's Guide - совсем другая, но она тоже позволяет приоткрыть завесу чужого разума, и за это её можно аккуратно рекомендовать. В целом мои впечатления от игры лучше всего сформулировал обозреватель RockPaperShotgun: "So did I enjoy it? Kind of. I think I appreciated it more than I enjoyed it, and then that appreciation was tinged with a wish that it could have been more." (via)

P.S. В комментариях пара ссылок для тех, кто уже прошёл игру.

The Beginner’s Guide will probably either be loved or hated by many. I happened to love it. It’s difficult to describe exactly what it is and one thing I enjoyed was that you will find a great deal of theories on the story to it and all of them could be right or wrong. What the game basically boils down to is you get shown various short games made by “Coda” and get given backstory through narration by Davey Wreden, who is the developer of this game. Through it you learn of how Coda and he met and his interpretations of Coda’s games and life. What works wonderfully here is that, while I believe this is all a fictional story, you could easily believe that it is real. Davey Wreden does a great job at the narration and without that the game would fall apart. The game play itself is pretty simple. Some parts are walking simulator; some are light puzzles; but really the goal is just to learn more about Coda. The game’s themselves are nothing amazing, if these were actually released games I doubt anybody would praise them but as it is they simply serve as a back story and a way to further the plot. I don’t want to comment on the graphics too much because these games are supposed to be Source engine games made by a single person so graphics isn’t the point. The music is fairly well done though.

I played The Beginner’s Guide on Linux. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any bugs or glitches. You can’t manually save, the game saves at the start of each chapter but they’re pretty short chapters. Alt-Tab works. There are four AA settings; six AF settings; a v-sync toggle; and four other graphics options. The game ran great, often times at 144 FPS with a few drops but even then was well above 60 FPS.

Game Engine: Source
Disk Space Used: 3.32 GB
Input Used: Keyboard and mouse

Game Settings Used: 8x AA; 16x AF; v-sync on; multi core rendering on; all highest
GPU Usage: 19-98 %
VRAM Usage: 1006-1233 MB
CPU Usage: 5-20 %
RAM Usage: 3.8-4.8 GB
Frame Rate: 74-144 FPS

You can get a lot out of the story to A Beginner’s Guide depending on how you look at it. It can be a tale of depression; misunderstood creativity; friendship; the struggles of indy game development; I even have a theory involving stalking. At the end of the day all and/or none of these could be correct. That’s the beauty of the game in my eyes. In any case it’s an interesting way to spend eighty seven minutes and is well worth it’s current $10.99 CAD price.

Do not go in and expect the Stanley Parable.
Do not go in and expect a game.
This is a story.

It's one you need to hear.

Um pode normalmente duvidar da capacidade de um jogo enquanto ferramenta ser arte, mas jamais poderá ♥♥♥♥♥ que Davey Wreden é um artista. Depois do magnífico The Stanley Parable e seus questionamentos sobre videogames e a vida, The Beginner's Guide vai além e proporciona uma experiência única sobre as emoções e as aspirações do ser humano. A experiência de jogo pode ser curta, mas é enriquecedora e vale cada momento. Queria escrever mais sobre este projeto tocante, mas olho para o teclado e não sei mais o que dizer... só o que sentir.

PS: Este jogo entra na categoria infame "Walking Simulator" então se você é daqueles que acha que isso não pode ser considerado um jogo, sua insensibilidade visível vai lhe impedir de entender a mensagem por trás.

I nominated this for the “I'M NOT CRYING, THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY EYE” Steam Award just because I can't stop thinking about the inner meaning behind the narrative.

Я довольно долго уже живу с тем, что принято называть депрессией. Иногда мне лучше, и я берусь за большие проекты, иногда мне хуже, и я лежу несколько дней в кровати.
Когда я прошел эту игру, мне захотелось купить торт Красный бархат. Я его очень люблю, он ассоциируется у меня с кофейней рядом с моим бывшим университетом, из которого меня исключили.
Пройдя эту игру, я понял, наверное, то, что лучше не станет. Не то, чтобы вообще, но нет кого-то, кто просто придет и поможет, вот так, за мгновение.
Мне еще предстоит много работать над собой, налаживать свою жизнь и так далее.

Спасибо.

I think it's nice to revisit this game every so often, and I think you might too. Not because the game has updated, and new things have been added, nor because the industry has changed around it, and now I look at it differently. But because people change as they get older, and this is one of those you might feel differently about, or might be able to identify with in different ways.

色んな人のレビューを見るのが楽しい作品。
内容自体は一本道のアドベンチャーで斬新なゲームプレイは無い。
タイトルの雰囲気や事前の情報を公開しないやり方でとてもミステリアスで魅力的に出来ているし、ストアページのSSや動画を見ても内容は全く予想できない。
ストーリーは色んな解釈や受け取り方があって、そこが評価されているところの一つ。


折角なので個人的な感想やネタバレを我慢できずに書いてしまいましょう。


このゲームはなんだか重々しく取られがちだけど、ざっくり割り切ってしまうとツイッターで面白画像張る俺は面白人間っていう話以上ではないと思っています。
このThe Beginner's Guideは語り手のDavey Wredenのゲームですが中に入っているのはCodaのゲームで、そこにそれらがまるで自分が作ったとサインを入れるかのように改変しただけなのだから。
でもCodaは実在するだろうか? 私はそれは人ではないと思っています。

There is no goal only pure experience and clever story. Voice acting is nice and you will recognize the narrator as your friend in some way. For me it was a story about finding what you really like to do. It is worth to stay in one place for the rest of life? You may open for world, search new solutions, maybe try different routes to find who you really are or who you want to be. Buy this game if you like Stanley. Psst no spoilers was included in this review except it's a game about games.

Let's make this simple. I was brought here by Pirate Software - a former Blizzard employee. He suggested his followers play this game - mainly for people who create stuff and seek motivation.

When I opened the game, it felt simple to play. The game uses abstract art. It's a walking simulator with a voice in the background and some things to interact with. The story is about a guy called Coda, who created a bunch of small games throughout his 2010s, and his friendship with Davey - both of them are apparently fictional characters.

So I thought, boy, as a creative person who struggles to make Source engine maps and show my work to the public on Twitch, this game will definitely help me. And boy, I was wrong.

After completing it, I felt kind of robbed and confused. I felt like I had more questions than answers. That made me wanna find more answers about this game's intention by looking into discussions and reviews. Theoretically, this game can be interpreted from multiple perspectives - I don't know if that's good or not. But one of the perspectives allowed me to understand the creative media a lot better.

At first, when I was making Source engine maps and streaming something on Twitch, I was always doing this for myself. For fun. And I enjoyed myself doing that! Unfortunately, when I started to think about what people might think, my creative mind went downhill.

When a creative person starts thinking about people's thoughts and wishes, all that the people will want the creative person to do is create content and allow consumers to consume it, and maybe give feedback about the content. They'll want to consume different kinds of content more and more. They will project what they want. In turn, this gives some sort of validation to the consumers. It might look and sound like some innocent wishes, but it begins to feel more like a disease from the creator's perspective. An endless one, in fact. Thus, this downhill path makes many creative people, including myself, stop doing something cool and fun. It can be just one infectious person who can ruin a creative person. It doesn't have to be an entire community.

It feels pretty absurd. To confirm it, I asked my girl, who used to create fanfictions many years ago, why she stopped writing fanctions. She didn't know why. However, surprisingly, when I asked her if it was because she was writing it for the people rather than herself, she answered most likely yes. Immediately, I was like you should play this game; it's on sale. I thought that if she played it, I would feel happier for her and myself. But she said no. And you know what? I said, you're right. She was confused at first and thought about something that I said before. But I replied: No. If you don't want to - don't.

I guess I learned something here. This game might not encourage me to return to making maps or Twitch streams, but it taught me to watch what I say and how to save somebody new in the creative industry from ruining their creative mind.

ANÁLISIS DE "THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE"

No sé si podríamos denominar a The Beginner's Guide como videojuego, al menos no es a lo que estamos acostumbrados.

Del creador del original "The Stanley Parable", nos llega este título que nos pone en el papel de Wrener, el narrador que nos acompañará durante todo el juego mientras probamos las creaciones de un programador llamado Coda, empezando por su primer mapa para Counter-Strike y montones de proyectos experimentales más, unos más complejos que otros (en algunos casos de duración ínfima y carentes de lógica alguna) y que nos harán ir conociendo una serie de anécdotas durante los comentarios del narrador acerca de su relación ♥♥♥ Coda.

Se trata de un walk simulator ♥♥♥ muy poca interacción ♥♥♥ el entorno, simplemente tendremos que ir avanzando por los distintos proyectos de Coda escuchando la narración (en inglés) mientras se nos cuentan una serie de anécdotas que han ido surgiendo en el desarrollo de los proyectos de Coda, como bugs, problemas, inquietudes, etc., además del agotamiento mental, desesperación, soledad e incluso depresión que pueden llegar a experimentarse al no conseguir nuestro objetivo.

De verte reflejado ♥♥♥ esto último aunque sea en parte, The Beginner's Guide resulta bastante interesante. Para los que no somos programadores pero nos apasiona este mundillo, también puede resultarlo puesto que nos muestra la otra cara de los videjuegos.

Para no extenderme más, os dejo ♥♥♥ mi lista de pros y contras, finalizando ♥♥♥ una pequeña conclusión a modo de resumen:

PROS:

- Del creador del genial The Stanley Parable

- Súper original, fuera de lo común

- Otra forma de enfocar nuestra visión sobre el desarrollo de los videojuegos

- Se tratan algunos temas como la soledad, la depresión, etc.

- Da que pensar, invita a la reflexión

- Si nos llegamos a sentir identificados ♥♥♥ la experiencia que se narra, resulta un título muy interesante

- El diseño artístico de algunos niveles

- La banda sonora

- Algunos diálogos

- La voz en off

- Está traducido al español

- Se puede encontrar a muy buen precio en épocas de ofertas

CONTRAS:

- No está doblado al español

- Muy poca interacción

- Muy pobre en cuanto a detalles en algunos niveles

- No es divertido

- Puede llegar a ser algo deprimente conforme se avanza hacia el final​

- Fuera del precio reducido de la época de ofertas, no merece la pena

- No es nada rejugable a diferencia de The Stanley Parable

- El hecho de haber añadido logros hubiera añadido un aliciente interesante para hacer más ameno el desarrollo

- Muy corto, en menos de dos horas lo habremos terminado y eso explorando al máximo

CONCLUSIÓN:

Podrá gustar a los que busquen una experiencia distinta a lo habitual o un juego ♥♥♥ mensaje, pudiendo sentirse identificados los programadores, especialmente aquellos que se hayan sentido así en algún momento del desarrollo de sus proyectos.

Si mi análisis te ha servido de ayuda o te ha gustado, agradecería que dejaras tu valoración positiva para que pueda leerlo más gente. No dudéis en escribir abajo si tenéis cualquier tipo de duda. ¡Un saludo y gracias por leerme!

É realmente bem difícil escrever sobre este jogo, pois ele é de certo modo repleto de paradoxos e de teorias as quais me deixaram com um nó na cabeça tanto pela aparente genuinidade de cada uma delas como também pela genialidade que é o jogo em si, tendo um enredo com um significado muito maior do que é sugerido pelo narrador. Inicialmente pensei que era um jogo engraçado para descontração com uma trama voltada para jogos não finalizados por um desenvolvedor meio doido mas super criativo... porém, no desenrolar da história fui me aprofundando cada vez mais no real significado de cada partícula dos jogos "não finalizados" e na personalidade do tal desenvolvedor, e após finalizá-lo fiquei com várias perguntas em mente, as quais foram apenas respondidas por hipóteses que me deixaram espantada por conta da magnitude do enredo, o qual mesmo sendo relativamente curto (já que o jogo dura cerca de 2-3 horas) acaba por proporcionar uma experiência única e faz valer literalmente cada centavo investido. Chega a ser emocionante... pode confiar...

Holy cow, I can see why my friend wanted me to go in blind.
This was outright incredible, I could've never guessed how it would've built up and one part towards the end really hit me in a deep spot.

Can't thank my friend enough for buying me this and sitting with me as I played it, wow.

作为史丹利的寓言的续作,该作可能会让很多注重多线程的玩家失望。而之所以评为“我也是醉了”奖,是因为这款游戏的转折真的让人有种难以承受和不知所措的感觉,一直以来,我们和旁白都在揣度,能做成这样的游戏的人。内心会有多黑暗,生活是有多空虚。却殊不知做什么是人家的自由。我们多次根据一个人经常看暴力血腥电影都推测出他一定有暴力倾向,一个人经常写一些不知所云的话就推测出他一定精神不正常。但很有可能,不正常的是我们。我们以为的“救赎”是让他人的作品达到我们的满意,但当这只是别人做着玩的休闲作品,我们还有必要上纲上线吗?
对于这款精神续作,我依旧给它打高分。虽然它没有游戏性,虽然它是唯一的线性流程。但它传达出了一种精神,并把它融入到这样的艺术品中。或许醉了的不该是我们,但它让我感觉到了一种脱离现实的现实。或许,当一个人经常做监狱游戏,就是因为他,喜欢做监狱游戏吧。

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but that's okay. Its just my opinion. I do not think this is a good game.

The game presents a story of the narrator interpreting the creative work of a friend who ultimately cut contact with him over his interpretation of the works and mis-assumption that creative works are necessarily a reflection of their creator. Not enough information here is presented to know if the story is true, or what parts of the story may or may not be accurate. As such, I am taking the game on face value, just the story as it is presented.

The game presents no real meaningful discussion on its premise, just imagery and an emotional narrative about how the narrator felt about the 'games' his friend made and how it caused a falling out. These games are not games, it is more accurate to say 'interactive creative works absent of themes of play structure.' The problem is that the story just seems to boil down to two people who did not really agree or understand each other about one of their creative expressions, and nothing more. You are not given enough information to make any sort of reasonable assumption on what transpired, or gain insight about how the two interacted. The Beginner's Guide presents no meaningful discussion of its own on the topic either. Its 1.5 hours of someone saying 'this inspired me then I pissed off the guy who made it.' Does it seem like I'm repeating myself? I can't think of how else to say it. Theres nothing else to the story but that.

The 'games' made by the narrator's friend are shown to you in game and you are free to poke around them, but they aren't particularly meaningful or thought provoking. Maybe its because I don't identify with the presented themes of idolization, creative burnout, drama, social anxiety, or whatever else people seem to see in this game. Maybe it's because the presentation is too shallow. The narrative states that the 'games' made by the narrator's friend were never made to be shown to other people. This probably explains why. Maybe its because the themes seem to be the struggle of an immature person who isn't very good at figuring out his life or approaching things logically, perhaps why the game is titled 'The Beginner's Guide'. This isn't a jab at the creator if the story is true. Young people are immature because they are inexperienced, emotional relationships cloud logic, and so forth. Thats just how things are, and that's not a character flaw on anyone. But its not a situation that appeals to me. I see it and on top of the narrative and presentation being too thin, it just does not appeal to me.

So overall, I don't recommend it. I bought the game at $6 and felt like the narrative presented was so lacking that my time was wasted. I requested a refund. I cannot believe that he would ask $10 for this title, and I don't even think it would be worth your time at $5. The value of your dollar is up to you, and my opinions often run contrary of popular ones. Feel free to dismiss my review, and if you buy The Beginner's Guide I hope that you enjoy yourself even if I did not.


I want to put this last because it is somewhat tangential to my review. To top off the rest of what I have said, the non-fictional potential of the narrative puts the game in a possibly negative light. The narrative says that the games presented in The Beginner's Guide are ones that the narrators friend explicitly forbade the narrator from sharing and that he put them in the game as a cry out to the friend who severed contact. This puts the act of putting them in this game into moral and legal question. Obviously the narrative is, once again, incomplete. The narrative states information about events that occured at just one point in time, and that may have changed in events not included in the narrative. I can only assume that permission was given or legal concerns accounted for, because otherwise The Beginner's Guide shouldn't be on steam. If it was the creator's intent to evoke this reaction with the story, it seems strange. Am to assume that the narrator's story is true and the creator of The Beginner's guide has done something reprehensible and immorral? If not, why is it trying to make me think it is? It seems underhanded, and just underscores how the game is so badly lacking.

Визуальная лента жизни
Одна из самых необычных игр, которые повидал за свою жизнь.
Нет, не игр даже, а целого сборника игр. Ведь это - сборник игр от одного человека, где автор - другой.
Быть может это просто игра-послание, быть может - раскаяние. Но ещё больше - хороший рассказ.
Не думаю, что стоит говорить даже тебе о том, что такая игра требует объяснений.
Её просто нужно пройти, впитать, понять, и отложить подальше.

А мой обзор здесь - лишний. Не нужно ничего говорить, ибо любые слова только разрушат эту хрупкость.

Советую ли "игру"?
Это не игра. Это даже нечто более особенное, чем "Dear Ester" и подобные. Потому что в рассказе минимум 3 человека есть - рассказчик в игре, вы, и ещё тот, о ком рассказывают и о ком размышляют.

Было у меня место, когда писал кое-что в закрытом от всех пространстве. Могу ли сказать, что понимаю чувства Коды? Или Дейва? Могу, хочу, но не имею права.
И теперь я так же опустошен, ибо сие творение как напоминание о тех глубоко зарытых вещах, что, возможно, есть во многих. Но для некоторых, они куда более развиты, создавая целый мир, закрытый от материального.

Но вы ведь не за это читаете "обзор"?

Что полезно знать перед покупкой:
  • Не игра. Даже симулятор ходьбы лишь с натяжкой. Это тот рассказ, в котором автору нужно что-то показать вам, чтобы вы его лучше поняли, восприняли.
  • Продолжительность 1,5-2 часа. И это с натяжкой, если останавливаться, разглядывать, читать.
  • Английский голос Дейва. Русский текст-перевод в субтитрах и текстурах
  • Ни достижений, ни реиграбельности. На один раз.
  • Брать на скидке или бандле - это твой выбор

Это именно то, что ты хотел узнать в обзоре, читающий?

Могу посоветовать игру всем, кто что-либо когда-либо создавал или создает сейчас. Не важно кто ты. Может ты любишь писать истории, музыку, рисовать или делать игры. Тот ты, который выражается через свои творения - загляни в The Beginner's Guide, оно будет создано словно для тебя, отрешенного. Ты поймешь.

Возможно, это творение позволит тебе созреть для чего-то большего.

Оценка: 9.0
Личная: 9.0+

The Beginner's Guide es un "juego" que todos deberían experimentar. Tal como lo dice la descripción no dura más de una hora y media como mucho, pero sin duda te dejará pensando por mucho más tiempo. De alguna forma siento que está especialmente dirigido a los desarolladores de juegos (devs), sobre todo los de juegos indie, o todo aquel que encuentre en los juegos un refugio.

Recomiendo jugarlo completo, sin pausas, uno se sumerge rápidamente en la historia y se pone ansioso por saber más y más, hasta que termina y lo deja a uno ♥♥♥ una sensación de insatisfacción, algo falta, pero no sabes qué, ya que no es como ningún otro "juego" (si es que así se le puede decir) que hayas jugado nunca. La clave está en poder descifrar ese "algo" que la historia no completa, y poder darle varias interpretaciones al trabajo en sí.

Es difícil describir/analizar esta experiencia sin spoilear, cuando lo terminen lo entenderán.

This "game" is hard to describe. First of all, it is what people have come to refer to as a "walking simulator". Very little interaction, mostly walking through levels and observing and listening. HOWEVER! If you have played this guy's last "game", The Stanley Parable, you know that he knows how to make this genre engaging. And like The Stanley Parable, this "game" is ABOUT games. There is also a voice talking to you but that is where the similarities end. Because this is not a comedy.

I will not directly discuss the content of this virtual experience in my review which will keep it rather short but I hope you will still consider buying it. However, I think in this case it is alright to mention the premise of this experience. The developer of The Stanley Parable is the narrator leading you through levels or "games" made by someone called "Coda" and comments on their design. All else you will have to see and hear for yourself. And honestly, telling you more would spoil the experience.

You will like this experience if you are into indie-games and game-design. But there is more to it.

This not-game, as some would call it, accomplishes something many games I have spent much more money on never did. What that something is has to be experienced. Which is why I recommend this game. Whole-heartedly.

I haven't played a more sincere videogame in my entire life.

I mean, sure, many great games are made with a ton of passion and it shows, you got your DOOMs, your Shovel Knights, your Metroid Primes, your Half-Lifes and they all show a ton of effort, dedication and love for the videogame media.

But this might be the first time I've played something that is truly and honestly made and written from the bottom of a person's heart. This game is extremely personal.

This game really got me.

I'm not spoiling what's this game about, but the only thing I can say is that I wholeheartedly recommend this.

That was an experience. Wow.

It's pretty similar to Stanley Parable, but this one takes you for an emotional journey instead of a comedic one. I have only played it once but based on the ending I don't think this one has any replay value to it, so do buy the game with the expectation that it's pretty short and it's a play once and done deal. I highly recommend the game as it left quite an impression on me and I imagine that I will think about this game years later from now on.

La verdad es que no hay mucho que pueda decir de The Beginner's Guide sin hacer spoilers o sin arruinar parte de la experiencia. Solamente diré que si eres un creador de lo que sea, si te interesan los videojuegos como medio artístico o si te gustan los videojuegos en general, tienes que darle una oportunidad a esta obra. The Stanley Parable puede que nos haya hecho pensar de forma racional sobre cosas que usualmente damos por alto en los videojuegos, pero The Beginner's Guide es todo lo contrario, ya que va por el lado sentimental. Es la historia de dos amigos, es la historia de un creador, es la historia de lo que tú creas que es historia. Es un videojuego que resonará ♥♥♥ muchas personas de formas muy diferentes.

En fin, como dije, no hay mucho que pueda decir, así que es mejor que lo compres sin ningún tipo de expectativas y simplemente llegues al final. Es una experiencia como ninguna otra.

个人感想,均为剧透:

门的机关——心门只能从内打开

正在进入&正在离开——我怀疑不只是路灯,这两个路牌也是旁白加上去的,去掉这两个路牌,这只是一个游戏,没有终点,也没有起点

监狱的隐喻——你觉得自己受到囚禁,才是监狱,如果你不觉得,那你就逃出了监狱

游戏——游戏是迷宫,跳出游戏就能看到更大的世界。回头看去游戏似乎成了一个监狱,而后见上文

可玩的游戏——重要的是玩游戏的人的内心变化,而不是游戏内部的变化。然而大部分人重视的却是后者。按照这种广义的定义来说《新手指南》是一款优秀的游戏,玩的时候让人思绪丰富,而且每次重玩都能有不一样的感想。而像我这样产生和发表游戏的感想,并阅读其他人的感想、评测和弹幕,其实也都可以算是游戏的一部分

清洁卫生游戏——把BGM给我,妈妈就再也不用担心我的房间总是乱七八糟了

Coda和Davey——Davey为了讲述自己的故事把Coda分离了出来,借此表现自己复杂的思绪变化和内心挣扎

人格分裂,精神问题,抑郁症等等字眼——我在看评测和弹幕的时候频繁的见到这些字眼,它们让我愤怒,因为这些人把自己难以解释的复杂的人简单粗暴的归结成病症或不正常。这是一种拒绝理解的傲慢。作者在游戏中所表现的感受,都是正常人的感受,非要说谁有病,那就是花钱买游戏,却拒绝体会这些感受的傲慢玩家. So if your role here is not to understand, then what is it?

分析作品不等于分析作者:你不能从作品中看透作者的内心
——Mortimer J. Adler, <如何阅读一本书>

我们不应该根据这个游戏猜测、分析、或是断言作者是个怎样的人,我们真正应该注重的是自己,是自己产生的共鸣,感情,想法甚至灵感。

这就是给每个玩家的《新手指南》

This is not a review.
You should not review this game.
If you do, you missed the point


Just play the game for yourself, it is really good.

Narration-heavy, but not in a bad way. The gameplay helps draw you into the story, even with it is a "walking sim". Definitely lends creedence to video games as an art form. So if you don't mind the lack of gameplay and treat it like an interactive exploration through a story, it's definitely a nice 1.5-2 hour experience.

Also recommended for creative types.

В процессе прохождения одного из уровней мне показалось забавной идеей написать обзор на эту игру. Дословно он должен был выглядеть так – «круто». Одно слово, с маленькой буквы. И я бы закрыл комментарии к этому обзору. У меня есть похожий обзор, тоже на инди игру, но она мне не понравилась, там я написал негативный обзор в похожей манере. Но после прохождения я решил, что такой шутки в виде обзора будет недостаточно.

Гайд для начинающих – это игра, напрямую ведущая диалог с игроком. Это не разрушение четвертой стены это и есть игровой процесс. Ходить по уровню, удивляться его необычной структуре или концепции и слушать автора. Чистейший постмодерн. Conflict – Man vs. Author. Это немного похоже на комментарии разработчиков Valve в специальном режиме, который они вставляет в каждую свою игру на движке Sourse. Кстати, эта игра тоже сделана на том же движке. Counter Strike Sourse, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2… Что же объединяет эти игры кроме движка? Чувство одиночества. Какая-то… Отстраненность что ли, странное неописуемое чувство. Нет, я говорю не про игровой процесс, вернее, в большей степени не про него, а про то, как выглядят эти игры, сами уровни и их наполнение. В чистом виде это больше всего выражено в первой части Portal. В css подобная атмосфера присутствует, если копнуть чуть глубже серверов с картой de_dust2. Для большего понимания советую посмотреть данное видео:

это НЕ очередной видос про "мясных" итд если что Я тут: https://vk.com/flynnflytaggart И тут: https://www.twitch.tv/flynnflytaggart Первый раз делаю видео о чем-то на русском языке НЕ...


Автор напрямую ведет монолог с игроком, рассказывая о каждом уровне в игре. С первого взгляда это похоже на закадровый смех в старых ситкомах, где не самому умному зрителю подсказывают, в каких местах нужно смеяться. Кажется, что так создатель игры показывает, что он задумал, то как он сам понимает свое творчество и напрямую навязывает свое видение. Страдает синдромом поиска глубинного смысла, когда на деле это просто абстрактные уровни с необычной идеей. Но все не так просто. Через описание уровней рассказывается полноценная история общения автора со своим другом, творческим человеком, автором этих самых уровней. Но… Позволю вставить цитату из одного старого советского фильма «-А был ли мальчик?» Возможно, никакого друга нет и это все стенания одинокого человека, пытающегося понять себя через других людей, через творчество раскрыть свои мысли и чувства. История тут есть, она сильная и как говорится «заставляет задуматься», хотя эта фразу часто применяют в ироничном контексте. Игра часто играет с тобой, ломая ожидания. Автор своими комментариями помогает связать уровни в одно целое. Этот закадровый голос – важная составляющая сюжета, но мне интересно, как я бы понял все эти уровни, не слушая этот голос?

В игре классный эмбиент, часто навевающий это самое чувство одиночества или же, в редких моментах, уюта. Без закадрового голоса игра была бы похожа бесконечные вариации мобильных игр, лучше всего передающих чувство одиночества – Yume Nikki. Но этот голос как якорь возвращает тебя из своеобразного слегка аутичного игрового опыта, с ним не так одиноко. Иногда его нет, и в эти моменты остаешься наедине со своими мыслями. Все же с ним комфортнее. Без него игра была бы похожа на Awkward Dimensions Redux. Игра неплохая, но кроме нечетких воспоминаний о паре уровней ничего после себя не оставляет. Здесь же все объясняется, дает почувствовать себя умным человеком, понявшим авторские задумки, хоть тебя и ведут за ручку. В игре раскрывается не только задумка каждого уровня, но и поднимаются многие важные темы, связанные с творчеством – о творческом выгорании, самобичевании и депрессии, вопрос о том, может ли существовать искусство без стороннего наблюдателя, нужно ли одобрение наблюдателя, то, как оно влияет на дальнейшее творчество и много чего еще. И все это не в форме скучной статьи или громоздкого философского трактата, а в форме игры.

И все-таки, почему игра называется именно так? Я думаю, она вдохновляет. На собственное творчество. Меня вот вдохновила написать обзор. Игра оказывает некое очищающее действие на игрока. Хоть игра в некоторых моментах весьма депрессивна, давит на игрока, вызывает смешанные чувства. Но после нее хочется что-то поделать, чем-то заняться. Не как после игра типа Dead Space или Мор Утопии, когда после всех пережитых ужасов хочется выйти на улицу и прогуляться, хотя такой эффект я тоже люблю. Здесь же появляется чувство более светлое и душевное. Я думаю, поэтому она и называется «Гайд для начинающих». Как в одном старом мотиваторе из интернета. Пособие для начинающих – начните. Хочется самому создавать уровни как в этой игре или заняться чем-то подобным, необычным, проявить себя. Это круто.

Sé que el género "Walking Simulator" no es del gusto de todos los jugadores, y lo respeto. Pero sin duda, tanto The Beginner's Guide como The Stanley Parable, del grandísimo autor llamado Davey Wreden, merecen ser jugadas. Esta última es difícil de describirla, pero es tan personal y única, que de verdad merece ser jugada.

Te guste o no el género, y una vez finalizado lo hayas disfrutado o no, al menos, juégalo. Da una oportunidad a The Beginner's Guide. Es absolutamente maravilloso de principio a fin.

Recomendado no, recomendadísimo.

Really hard to talk about how much I love this game without spoiling it. The Beginner's Guide is really important to me as a worker and as a creator. The ways that the game conveys emotions through the spaces it constructs kinda floored me, both because of how well designed they are, and how true to my own experiences they felt.

One of the few games that actually made me cry and question what is "trying to find yourself". Game itself gives and includes a lot of psychological messages, not just to the creator of the game Davey but to the player aswell. It is really a deep game to understand and realise whats going on. Depression and finding yourself is a part of everyones life and it only gets better if you are able to know your worth. I dont even know if Coda is Davey, or if Coda is a real person. But i can assure that so many people can relate what "Coda"'s feeling and experiencing. Definitely recommending this masterpiece of a game. "Edit : made my mum play it, she cried....."

Esperienza sensazionale.

Poco più di due ore di gioco passate senza andare di fretta, valutando ed assaporando ogni scenario, ogni parola, ogni riflessione.

Un viaggio nel rapporto che lega autore e fruitore, è bene non raccontare di più, ma compratelo. Merita fino all'ultimo centesimo.

For anyone who has yet to play this masterpiece, stop reading this comment right now. Maybe glance at other comments posted by other users, but only look at one or two. Don't even watch the trailer if you haven't already. I keep talking to you, the reader, because I know that you haven't stopped reading this comment, because I keep prolonging it. This is where my warning ends, as I ask you to please purchase this game. What I am about to say next is meant for the creator of this game, if he's out there, along with the users who have played this work of art.






I think that at the end of the game, we can all relate to Davey. We interpret things all too much and begin to over analyze to the point where you start to believe something is wrong when there really wasn't anything wrong to begin with. It delivers a personal connenction that you wouldn't have thought that you'd have to think about when playing this..experience. We interpret things the way we want to, and sometimes come to the conclusion that something is wrong. Naturally, when something is wrong, we want to solve it because that's just what makes sense. We want to feel like we can solve something to make things better, and in turn we feel good about ourselves, and start to only get caught up in the fact that what we/you are doing is a good thing. We subconsciously block out the fact that what might be doing good for us, isn't necessarily the best option. Davey, if you ever read this, just know that I don't blame you for what eventually ended up happening at the end. I think we all can relate to this, and take a lot from it. Through your pain and through the pain that Coda felt, it teaches us a lesson. That some things ARE the way that they seem. To respect someone's wishes that they know is best for them, and not to do what YOU think is best for them. This is a very difficult situation, because when you interpret that someone is going through pain and depression, your natural instinct is to help. But maybe, just maybe, it's okay to stay out of some things because not everything is what you interpret it to be. If Coda ever plays this game and gets to the ending, I hope that he accepts your apology just as you hope for the same thing. I also hope that you realize, and I'm sure you do, that Coda may not make anymore games, let alone tell you that he's made more. Games are supposed to have thought put into them, but don't necessarily have to be shared with the world. Making a game can be used as an outlet so that whatever ideas spark in their head, they can make it into a real thing so that they have a sense of accomplishment. It can also be a thing where it's just out of pure joy, because they love to do things their own way, because it makes them happy.

I would like to thank you for realizing the wrong that was done on your behalf, and for teaching us this very valuable lesson. It's something that we all can relate to, and touched very close to heart.

It's not a bad game. It's just that it's value depends on what kind of person you are.

I streamed my first playthrough of The Beginner's Guide, but sadly didn't keep an archive. The game's narrative explores the works of an in-fiction character named Coda, presented by another in-fiction character called Davey (presumably named for Davey Wreden, The Beginner's Guide's director) as an exploration of Coda as an artist. At first, in-game Davey tells the player that Coda's works are being shared in an effort to highlight how interesting a creator Code is, but over time reveals that his hope is to also to regain contact with Coda following a rift in their friendship.

I remember feeling blown away by the level design in the game. Some of my early attempts at seriously making games involved mapping with Worldcraft (which would eventually be renamed to Hammer Editor), and while I can't claim to have any meaningful skills myself, I can appreciate that the bulk of The Beginner's Guide was the work of a very experienced and thoughtful BSP mapper with a masterful command of architecture and lighting.

The quality of the mapping is consistently high from the very outset, where Coda is being portrayed as inexperienced game developer who would be unlikely to have the nuance of workmanship that's clearly visible.

The game itself doesn't provide much in the way of player agency, and in my opinion, it doesn't need to. It feels like The Beginner's Guide focuses on exploring the relationships creators have with their works and their creative selves, and how those can be powerful along many axes. Given the kind of impact[web.archive.org] that The Stanley Parable's success had on Davey the developer, The Beginner's Guide comes across as perhaps being an attempt at a catharsis.

It's difficult to call The Beginner's Guide an enjoyable experience, but I'm glad to have spent my time on it, and I hope all those who worked on it have healthy, rewarding and enriching relationships with their work (including GranPC, who gifted a copy of the game to me). It's hard to know if that's the case though - late last year, a prominent game site ran an article that included The Beginner's Guide in a list of notable new IPs from 2015, but recommended that players complete the game within Steam's refund window. When pressed, the author responded with clarification that feels even more problematic than the veiled recommendation of obtaining a refund after finishing a game - that it is valid to interpret the in-fiction presentation of the Davey character sharing Coda's work without consent as an indication that The Beginner's Guide itself is made from misappropriated content.

While much of The Beginner's Guide is undoubtedly inspired by real world experiences and feelings, to view it as anything other than an original work is quantifiably wrong and not within the bounds of viewer's interpretation. If this weren't the case, recommending refunds would still not be an appropriate way to address the problem - if one saw a violent film and believed they were viewing actual criminal acts being performed, having film critics recommend grabbing a refund from the cinema as some form of absolution for accidentally supporting that kind of thing is mind boggling to contemplate.

Coming back to my feelings about the game itself, I could smell the toxic nature of Davey's relationship with Coda from the beginning of the game, and the narrative's descent into this was a little harrowing. For the majority of the in-fiction games, the level design was what I connected most with (in-part due to my own history with Half-Life mods and creating that kind of content - Robert Yang's blog post about The Beginner's Guide[www.blog.radiator.debacle.us] speaks really nicely to the kind of personal resonance this game can have with someone who has worked in that space), though the faux-multiplayer and house cleaning sequences did touch me - particularly the latter ending with the sense that there was more to explore.

I feel like I'd like to say more, but perhaps The Beginner's Guide speaks best for itself (I did have some musings on subjective experiences vs creative intent on Twitter that you can read if you really want).


This was originally written as part of a retrospective[cheesetalks.net] on games I finished in 2015.

The Beginner's Guide can be taken as the last word in the tired 'games as art' debate. It addresses in a very direct, very explicit way, how games can be designed and interpreted as a window into the developer's psyche and the dangers of so doing. Games can exist as art, but they can also exist for their own sake, in a purely self-referential capacity, and imposing meaning carries risk to both the interpreter and the developer, whose creative vacuum has been penetrated and arguably infected. Alongside this art philosophy is the story of two individuals and the impact they have upon each other's emotional and creative lives.

The trailer, which depicts the game as a scattershot, self-directed journey through a developer's ouvre is, I feel, a very poor representation of what The Beginner's Guide is like to play. It does a disservice to the tightly crafted, cohesive narrative which binds the games together. Rather, The Beginner's Guide is more analogous to an expertly curated anthology of an author's short stories. Each one is a discrete experience with a beginning and end, however they fall within the broader meta narrative framework provided by the author's own life, explained in the curator's copious, insightful footnotes.

I've played many 'walking simulators', but I have never played one quite like this. The Beginner's Guide is about as linear as games get. The player has almost no agency and it is so geographically railroaded it is impossible to get lost, but this also means that, much as when you are watching a film or reading a book, you are paced at exactly the rate the creator intended. In lesser hands this can be dangerous, but fortunately, Davey Wreden is a superb storyteller and The Beginner's Guide takes exactly as long as it needs to to tell its tale in the most concise, yet complete manner possible. Provided you are open to it and take it on its own terms, it is an experience well worth 90 minutes of your time, as you will be thinking about the ideas it presents long after.

I generally hate games that are barely interactive, but this game touched parts of my brain that I had nearly forgotten about.

In my nearly 40 years of occasionally enjoying videogames (and often being disappointed by their failure to take advantage of the unique aspects of the medium), this is the first time I feel I can honestly refer to a game as being poignant.

A brilliant insight into the mind of a game developer. Play the game if you're looking for a powerful narrative experience and avoid it if you aren't, simple as that. Saying anything more about the game would only spoil it for you, so absolutely do not read the hidden text below.

Davey, in case you're still seeking validation or praise and are reading these reviews I just wanted to say that you've really outdone yourself with this one. The Stanley Parable was good fun but this game has a whole new level of meaning and depth. The sheer idea to actually combine all those "failed games" into a single successful one through narration was a stroke of genius. I hope that all that effort was worth it and that your former best friend forgave you in the end.

I purchased this game without any investigation, so I had no idea what to expect. I just finished it a few minutes ago, and I am, without complete understanding as to why, wanting to write about it. The story itself could be a complete fabrication, or the stone cold truth... I don't think it really matters. I enjoyed the telling, real or imagined, and as little as I know about Davey or Coda, I feel for them both. Not as though I understand them... I have been moved by classical music and felt disconcerted by modern art, without really understanding any of it... I do not pretend to understand the motivations behind this game, but I do believe in the necessity of its existence, and I do feel better for the experience. Thank you for putting it out there.

What I liked:
  • Pacing and overall tone of the story
  • The the feels I had during the game (no joke)
What You Need to Know:
  • This game is not for everyone, and that's ok. Just wanna say it has zero gameplay from a normal perspective
  • It's a walking simulator with dialogue and some dialogue choices or are they really. O.o
  • Since the whole reason to play this game is for the story, I will try to describe it without spoiler much
  • First it is an interpretative story and one that will get the most out of if you can relate to feelings of self worth, life's purpose or validation, and loneliness.
  • Not saying that if you don't care for this game, you don't have feelings. It's just it's a story formost and one that you just walk through and reflect on.
  • If that sounds boring, lame or stupid. Don't buy this game, you will not enjoy it. Otherwise get it. That's pretty much all I can say without spoiling or enfluencing your perspective

My Score:
B

Price:$6

The Beginner's Guide is a roughly 90 minute movie-type-thing that invites you to explore the games created by Coda, a friend of Davey Wreden. Davey narrates the experience in much the same manner that Kevan Brighting narrated the Stanley Parable, which makes sense given that Davey was one of the writers for the game.

I highly recommend that you play this game without looking up any discussion of the game. Go into the game blind, and you'll only enjoy it all the more.

The Beginner’s Guide… to what you may ask? That’s all up to interpretation, as are many aspects of this game. You are narrated by Davey, the maker of The Stanley Parable. This game isn’t to play like Parable though. This is a slice of Davey’s life where he talks about his friend Coda. This game is almost a memoir in that respect.

I’ll just get gameplay stuff out of the way real quick: It plays like a source game without guns and you simply walk around just like in Stanley Parable. I feel that this is only a game because Davey knows this best as a medium to get this story out.

And he is right for that, because the main “plot” of the game is to talk about Coda and his games. But it’s what the games mean and how the player and Davey interpret them. He gives the player a model of what he is talking about, which is a really rare thing in storytelling. From after this paragraph there may be game spoilers that reveal what actually happens in real life. Anyone reading this review to decide whether to get this game can stop here. If you want a story that can make you feel something more than any work of fiction can, absolutely get this “game.” It’s really thought provoking and special not only to those who play it, but to Davey himself.

The Beginner’s Guide is very thought provoking. It starts as Coda’s very first map, one for Counter Strike. Davey talks about why it’s significant that this is his first map. Davey says that Coda can crank out little games with abstract ideas, so he gives us all these games to play. Each of these games has a theme, and overall Coda puts in themes that stretch across the game. One game can allow you to only move backward. So to move through the level you have to turn away from what you see, or “the future,” and this represents how the character can’t see the future they are working toward. One of his other games is a product of many versions of a prison level. Each level you try to get out. This is where Davey starts to notice that something is wrong with Coda, and he is expressing that through the game he makes, so he talks to him about it.

If you want my explanation for the events of the game, continue reading. Otherwise the review and summary of the game is over. I feel that what happens at the end is the result of a misunderstanding, and Davey himself said he sort of pushed Coda to make more. Coda never really wanted to show his games, and since Davey’s source of moving on is validation he cannot understand that Coda never wanted to show them off. Now I’m not as clever as Davey or Coda so I’m glad he sort of interpreted the games for me, which is where I got this idea.

While I somewhat enjoyed this 1.5h long experience, I wasn't 'dragged' into it as much as I was in Stanley Parable. Now you may ask why I compare this game to Stanley, and while you may be right, since they are different in a respectful aspects, similarities are impossible overlook. And they are not bad. I thoroughly enjoyed Stanley Parable and I instantly 'marked' it as incredible, unique, and a very memorable experience. Maybe my mistake was expecting more of a same with a bit of variety from this one, but unfortunately for me I was wrong.

Now, I'm not saying this game is bad because it's not Stanley, but I can't help but notice that the game tries to tell a story in a unique, but rather hollow way. I have to admit, certain moments left me speechless, and the story is quite intriguing, but it's not anything special. Why others people give this game such a high praise is beyond me, but I feel like the game has different impact which differentiate from a person to person. When it comes to me, story didn't pull me as much as I thought it would, but that's okay, and I'm more or less satisfied with what I got for the amount I paid.

This is not a bash on a game, given that I left a positive review, but merely a NOTE to NOT expect Stanley Parable 2. Just get into this game, and let it tell you its story. Hopefully you'll like it more than I did.

Peu nombreux sont les jeux qui en arrive à te faire te questionner sur toi même, les autres, sur tes créations, les créations des autres et tout un tas de sujets en même pas 2h. C'est presque impossible de parler de cet expérience sans en enlever la découverte. S'il y avait une liste de jeux à avoir fait au moins une fois pour tous joueurs, je le mettrai dedans sans hésitaton. En premier choix pour ceux/celles qui développent ou veulent développer des jeux.

ATTENTION : THE FEELS ARE STRONG WITH THIS ONE.

What... what... what did I just witness.

I can't say anything. I won't say anything.

But you need to buy this game. Few games have made me feel the way I feel right now.

The Last of Us was tragic, The Old City: Leviathan was thoughtful, The Stanley Parable was confusing... and this game is all of that and more.

I can't explain to you, without spoilers, how good this game is. Please... trust me.

I give this game 10/10. No lie. For what it is, I give this game 10/10. I see no flaw.

If you'll excuse me, I need to go rethink my life now. Peace.

我对这个游戏的评价只能说震撼,前作史丹利在我心里和这个完全不能比。
那一瞬间,是找到了知己的感觉,我以为全世界要做这种游戏的只有我一个人,没想到竟然还有别人。

如果你想问这游戏讲的什么,那就可以理解为作者把他的画家朋友的废稿都偷过来订成了一本作品集,但这位“画家朋友”却没有卖出过任何一幅画,他笔下的世界只不过是他对游戏的思考和热爱,还有经历。

我以后也会做一个这种类型的游戏的。

If you have ever made art, you need to play this game.
If you have ever struggled with depression, you need to play this game.

Yes, it's a walking simulator, but it might be the very best game I've ever played as far as sticking with you. This is a game about the things we do when we need an outlet, and cannot imagine what that outlet could be. It's beautiful, haunting, poignant... a masterpiece.

My Game of Year 2016
“有些人只是需要抱抱”

This game means so much to me.....
I felt like Davey at the beginning, and then Coda. Finally, I'm Davey and Coda destroying each other in silence.
Now I know both side of me are sick and desperate........
I hate to admit that, but there are always something I can not work through. Never.
Because no solutions, no answers, for everything.
Neither solutions nor answers are meaningful. We are nothing, when we are facing the world.
I am nothing. When I'm facing myself.
Isolated. Tower. Distant.
Trapped. Withdrew. Machine.
Escape. Blind. Perfect.
这款游戏什么也不是,它只是一个新手指南。是关于什么的指南?每个人心里有自己的答案。

诚然,我没有任何写评测给别人看的必要,就如同有的游戏制造者开发了很多游戏但是不拿出来做商业用途一样,我也曾在自己心里测评过很多游戏,但是不是每一篇都会发到测评里去的。

和有的游戏设计者的初衷一样,他们通过设计游戏设计关卡来理清自己的思路,来宣泄自己的情感,讲述自己的故事; 我是把我的评测当成了我自己的碎碎念,当成了我自己游戏过后的一些记忆碎片, 当成我个体真实存在这个世界上的事实证据。

有的游戏设计者对自己游戏的销量并不抱有太大的期望,因为他们在制造游戏的过程中享受到了其中的乐趣。你买或者不买,对游戏本身试图讲述的故事毫不相干,也和制作过程中设计者们所获得的快乐毫不相干。我也一样,我写测评的过程所获得的愉悦,我通过写测评所得到的个人升华,和你点的是“是”还是“否”,也毫不相干。

如果有人会为此而产生共鸣或者反感,这些情绪对于作为这种思维的主体的游戏设计者和评测制造者的我,其实都是没有任何意义的。

你怎么看待游戏设计者的游戏(我的测评),对游戏设计者和我,也是没有影响的。游戏设计者设计游戏,有的时候仅仅是为了自己觉得好玩。我写我的评测也只是为了娱乐我自己。

我们都只是为了证明自己的不孤独。哪怕这个世界上没有任何一个人理解我,至少还有游戏陪伴着游戏设计者,至少还有我的测评陪着我。


PS: 对正在观看本测评的你,也是一样。我重复一次我上面说过的话:你点的是“是”还是“否”,与我本人毫不相干。只有你自己再一次看到本篇测评的时候,才会意识到,哦,我当时给了好评(差评),因为我通过这篇测评感受到了善意(或者恶意)。以上:与本人主观意识无关。

right so, I was in kind of an off mood when I started this and I heard it was a little like the Stanley Parable so I thought it'd be funny.
This game is not funny.
This game is depressing as hell.
That's a good thing, because so few games these days try to elicit an emotion or feeling outside of needing to spend more money or do something for progression rather than bringing any intrinsic meaning to the experience.
I do recommend this game, but I honestly believe you should be prepared for a time that will make you feel a little down, maybe a little bad for going along with it. But ultimately, the game is worth your time.

Dude...Holy Sh*t...

That was a rollercoaster...

It's not a "game" per se, but more of an experience.
One that takes you on quite a wild ride.

There's no choices, or action, or fighting, or anything of consequence really,
but that's kind of the point, just take it for what it is and soak in the experience!

Just, play it.

The Beginner's Guide is a narrative video game, a walking simulator, from the creator of The Stanley Parable.
The player is guided by the narrator through a number of incomplete and abstract game creations made by a developer named "Coda". During the exploration of those levels the narrator tries to make the player understand what type of person Coda is.
The gameplay is pretty simple, in first-person perspective the player moves through the levels and explores the environment and interacts with some elements of it from time to time while listening to the narrator.
Like The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide is not a typical game with much gameplay mechanics, it is more like an interactive story.
The story can be interpreted in different ways, so two people who play The Beginner's Guide could still have different perspectives of the ending.
The voice acting is well done, it is absolutely enjoyable to listen the narration.
For fans of walking simulators a must have, for others probably not satisfying at all.

Very good; Looks a bit outdated, but that's part of the game's setting
Sound
9/10
Great narrator and score; The frequency of monologues is a tad too high
Texts
10/10
A masterpiece of storytelling with a smart and well written narrative
Mapping
7/10
Cool, original levels, but even though still much room for improvement
Interface
9/10
No HUD makes perfect sense here; Nice menu design; Old-fashioned fonts

Additional Notes:

This quickly became a favorite of mine, because it deals with the topic of subjectivity and creativity like no other game I have played before. While it's more of an interactive tale, it's a unique game and will surely give you many thought-provoking impulses or even inspire you in one way or another.


Tested with:
1920x1080; Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit
AMD FX-8350, 8 x 4.03 GHz
Nvidia GTX 970 (3.5-4GB)
16GB DDR3 RAM; Samsung SSD
Controller: Microsoft Xbox 360
Settings: High / Ultra

I sat here staring at the blinking cursor for 10 minutes, I didn't know what i wanted to write, but i knew I wanted to write something as it truly deserves it.... So I'm just gonna wing it... this game is quite powerful and subliminal, as a person that suffers from CPTSD, I can understand a lot of the emotion and actions that were presented in this title... even made me tear up when I got to the tower... Because you quite literally feel the hopelessness of it all...

The game itself is very basic, if you want to be amazed by content, this ISN'T for you, if you want something to stir up your head with the deepness and sadness of the quantum mind, to see depression, to feel sadness and to experience the struggle in an interactive environment.... this is for you...

Story goes for about an hour and a half and the narration (just like Stanley Parable) is second to NONE, but be warned... it's NOT Stanley parable... you are gonna feel all sorts of feels and you are gonna be thinking about it for a while... But I definitely do feel better after playing this because I feel like I understand myself a whole lot more now...

I can't give it a score out of 10 because you just can't score it.... but I will purchase any game THAT this guy makes in the future...

A great 'experience' that I really enjoyed all the way through. Has potential for two playthroughs, both of which are unique. I won't spoil why. But when you replay this game the second time around, it'll be different.
Pros:
  • Really unique experience.
  • VERY worth it for the price. Completely reasonable pricetag.
  • Emotional rollercoaster. Been a long time since a video game made me feel like this.
♥♥♥♥:
  • I call it an 'experience' because it's not exactly a game. This is more of a neutral than a ♥♥♥. A lot of people do not like games that are more like walking simulators and crave typical game elements like combat. This is less of a game and more of a display of art or just an experience.
  • This is only worth playing twice. There's no reason to play it again after that.
  • The story will be hit and miss. You'll love it, or you won't get it and hate it. I got it and liked it. One of my friends got it, didn't get it, and hated it.
A great experience I'm happy I had overall!

Fantastic story about an artist and their inner struggles, and pits you and the narrator in an attempt to understand what they were and why the creator made the games we play through. Though, as you progress through the game, you soon understand that the person struggling was the narrator himself; attempting to find self worth in solving another persons problems (or lack thereof). Attributing meaning to a game, even if it had none. He (the narrator) wanted the games to have a purpose, to be playable, to be shared with people to receive some kind of validation. But sometimes, creators just want to make things for themselves, maybe for no other reason. The various things we see throughout the games as we progress were made the way they were solely because the narrator pried so much on the artist, not because he wanted to make them from his own machinations. Even then, perhaps a lot of these games were heavily modified in the first place to support the narrators idea that he is "helping" a "struggling" creator. Really though, a lot of the issue and conflict were perhaps of his own making to himself.

한마디로 평하자면 '스탠리 패러블 제작사답다'.게임의 내용은 나레이터가 Coda라는 게임 제작자의 게임들을 설명해나가는 것이 주다. 게임은 움직이고, 나레이터의 설명을 듣는 게 전부라고 봐도 된다.

자신이 현재 가진 게임 개념의 넓이에 확장을 가할 수 있느냐, 그럴 수 없느냐에 따라 이 게임의 재미가 결정된다고 봐도 과언이 아니다. 전자의 것이 가능한 이들은 '아, 이런 것도 게임이 될 수 있구나'하며 또 한 번 감탄할 것이고, 후자의 사람들은 '에이, 어떻게 이딴 게 게임이야'하며 실망을 금치 못할 수 있다. 두 쪽의 의견 모두 충분히 수렴할 가치가 있으나, 난 일단 전자의 사람에 속했는지 상당한 감명을 받았다.

여러분도 Coda와 나레이터, 그 두 사람 간에 발생하는 상호작용, 그리고 그 덕에 발생할 수 있는 독특한 방식의 게임 전개를 느껴보자. 지금껏 존재하는 게임들에 신물이 났다면 이 게임은 그들을 위한, 가뭄의 단비 같은 선물이 될 것이다. 또한, 해당 게임의 플레이는 자신의 고정관념을 조금이나마 깨부술 수 있는 중요한 기회를 만들어 줄 것이다.

Made me cry. Amazing game 10/10.

(but for real, The Beginner's Guide was one of the most surreal experiences I've had playing a game, and forced me to be introspective in a way that was super uncomfortable. It's amazing that games can convey such unique and specific emotions. l Definitely a worthwhile experience :>)

So I had no idea what to expect going into this game. Being from the creators of The Stanley Parable, I was expecting some chippy cheery interactive story game. That is not this game.

It's interactive sure. There is a lot of good content in it. It is a story. But it's not chippy and cheery.

I'm not sure how to best sum it up. It's emotionally powerful and raw, but other than that I don't know what to say.

Just play it, and you'll understand.

A very short story which is presented here, is not a subject to unambiguous interpretation. You may find a piece of yourself in it, and if so, you may be able to see that part from a new perspective.
Will it be a better viewpoint, or you'll have to watch it through the bars on the window? It is impossible to draw any conclusions, because we are different people and you might find something different inside.

I apologise for writing this review in such way, like it's some kind of weird riddle, but this is the only right way in this specific case.
Because in the end there's not much of a game in this game.
Everything here is about a way of narration, and about how it paints the whole experience. The Beginner's Guide is just that, a reason to think for a moment, an experience. And to be honest, very ambivalent in my case, but I believe it was intended to leave such feeling.
This short review tells everything and nothing about this unique production, and still - this is the fairest way to describe this game.
Go for it, and experience The Beginner's Guide on your own. It's simply worth a bit of attention, and you might be surprised by what you'll find at the end of it.

If my review helped you, then you may consider following my newly created Curator Page, I appreciate this way of supporting my work.

Please. I'm fading. And all I want is to know that I'm going to be okay.

The Beginner's Guide is a game about games. Someone else's games. Over-analyzed by a narrator, but, in the end you may learn something about him... and you.

Do not expect any gameplay, you will mostly walk and sometime push some levers, but emotionally speaking, The Beginner's Guide can really push hard. I can not reveal much without spoiler. Try it.

I am kind of shocked about this "game".

I did love the Stanley Parable and without any further research I was jumping heals over head into an desaster. I am not saying that the Beginner's Guide is an terrible waste of time and money and shouldn't exist.
I was getting something that I just did not expect and it is the opposite of bad.

The depth of the story and the background about mental illness and all of the things that combine my inner fears with the worst outcome of punchline that an story like this could have, left me speechless.

Now I feel like I need to talk to someone about it, but I can't, because it would ruin to much to anyone who didn't allready play this. As I expectet worse and worse - It got even deeper.

XX/10 - I will never rate this - noone schould

This is one of these games that when you try to describe it, you risk spoiling it.. Hence, my description will be to its minimum.

It is a short game.. I finished it in slightly less than 2 hours.. Other people seem to have finished in a lot less than that.. It is another game of the same developer that made "The Stanley Parable".. So you can fairly expect another break of the 4th wall.. You can expect a very unique storyline, a game that will not be easily forgotten.. A game that is difficult to describe by words.

Simply put, if you enjoy the concept behind games like The Stanley Parable.. If you enjoy walking around and if you enjoy a story-driven game.. Then you shouldn't in anyway miss this game.

这款游戏买了很久了,其实是因为看在和史丹利的寓言同一个作者的份上才入的这个游戏,今天突然想到便下载下来玩。和前者相比,这款游戏让我晚上玩得起了一身又一身鸡皮疙瘩,那种慢慢深入的沉浸感真的是太棒了。虽然不是恐怖游戏,但可以打满分的配乐和那种心灵间的震颤,到现在我还停留在一个又一个或粗糙或精致的小游戏里。

以下内容可能涉嫌剧透:

玩到最后很自然地让我想到了法国电影《Untouchable(不可触碰)》,我们经常以行善之名行凶,或是为了满足某种社交和心理上的虚荣,做一些让自己看起来更受欢迎或更能有存在感的事情。而像Coda这样的自闭型人格而言,他只想做他真正想做的事情,他不需要站在礼堂上面对成千上万的人说我爱你们,感谢你们的支持。他只需要做一个很好看的监狱,然后待在里面一辈子,打扫卫生,跟自己聊天,看窗外皑皑的白雪,这样也很好。即便这样,我们也会有意无意地去伤害他们,去问他们三个点是什么意思,谜题该怎么解开。我们总在追寻答案的路上苦行着,同时借此收获满足感。


Coda永远不会回来的。

即便Davey在伤害他人、挫败感十足的心狱里痛苦地度过余生,Coda再也不会回头看一眼。

Лично я считаю, что Кода — это Дэйви из прошлого. Где он любил делать игры для себя, в своем темпе и на досуге. Ему даже не нужно было их заканчивать, он мог перейтик другой игре и не чувствовать, что оставил что-то незавершенным. Он делал это для удовольствия и собственного умиротворения. Таким образом, особой необходимости в проверке не было. Но, очевидно, через какое-то время, может быть, когда он получит работу в индустрии или.. может быть, когда решил, что ему нужно начать зарабатывать на своих навыках разработки игр, ему нужно будет получить какое-то одобрение от других. Он понимает, что должен завершить дела. Отсюда и часть о добавлении фонарных столбов в его игры, чего не нужно было делать раньше. Он должен развлекать толпу (театр). Теперь его игры хороши только в том случае, если они нравятся фанатам и критикам, так что, по сути, та часть Коды, которая раньше наслаждалась своими играми, какими бы незавершенными они ни были, ушла. Это так далеко позади, что он говорит, что «не узнает этого человека». Во всем этом, пожалуй, самое интересное, когда он пытается убедить себя, что его решение зарабатывать на жизнь играми (поскольку это было его страстью) было правильным. Что это весело, что он по-прежнему взволнован этим делом и это не требует усилий. Но он знает, что лжет, что наступает момент, когда это становится просто работой, даже если в какой-то момент это было то, что вы любили делать. Идеи, которые так свободно приходили к вам когда-то, истощаются, и всегда есть ощущение того, насколько вы стали хуже по сравнению с тем, кем вы были раньше

請先承認你就是你朋友coda

一如The Stanley Parable獨具風格的遊戲,喋喋不休的背景對白才是遊戲本體,整個起承轉合步調掌控的不錯,加上精心設計的視覺與音效,讓這遊戲實為一個互動藝術電影,全程約1個半小時走完,適合深夜一人獨自寂寞品嚐箇中滋味。

補充一下,在遊戲風格上,基本就像劇場創作,一個3D場景一章節走完整個故事,以口白導引劇情,過程就像在看舞台劇,後勁很強,很多人玩到最後都有所感的哭了。

Everything unlimited!

Простите, но я не думаю, что это тот тип обзора, который поможет вам определиться с покупкой.

Решив написать свой отзыв, я не могу не отметить, насколько кульминация этой игры и её кода являются для меня одним из любимейших опытов за весь мой геймерский стаж. Это именно та ситуация, когда между мной и игрой устанавливается настолько хрупкая и личная связь, что я невольно впускаю в своё сердце трагедию одного человека, которого, может быть, и не существовало вовсе.

Я обязательно вернусь в эту игру (возможно, не один раз), потому что уверен, что многое упустил, а ещё большее не принял во внимание. Я ещё раз хочу насладиться невероятной красоты графикой, которая своим существованием доказывает, что эстетическая сторона производства любой видеоигры во многом зависит от работы художников, а не новизны используемых технологий.

Я очень, очень люблю эту игру! Я люблю её ещё и потому, что она показала мне видеоигры под совершенно другим и немыслимым ранее углом. The Beginner's Guide показал мне, что игры могут быть не только аттракционом или средством самовыражения, но ещё и личным миром идей каждого человека. И самое прекрасное, но страшное одновременно — это то, что мы можем впустить в свою душу любого человека, а любой человек может на эту душу посягнуть.

Есть над чем задуматься, не правда ли?

Firstly, to address the elephant in the room, the game is incredibly pretentious. There is no getting around that, there's no arguing it, it's just plain pretentious.

However, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

If you're familiar with other "walking simulator" games, you know what to expect gameplay-wise. It's just more of that. The game is also INCREDIBLY short at that. And while it really sounds like I shouldn't recommend this game, I will for a very specific audience.

I recommend this game for people who can not only tolerate the "gameplay" in these sorts of games, but people interested in a well-delivered, if a bit odd, meta-narrative about game design and creative instinct in general. The game's story is hard to explain without spoiling, but it's seemingly a commentary of creativity and self-worth. If that sounds interesting to you, you would probably enjoy The Beginner's Guide, but I recognize that this probably is not a game for most people, and that's just fine.

I got the game for a very low price (through a Humble Bundle) and am therefore happy with the purchase. That having been said, I probably would not pay more than $5 US for the experience.

Sequels to great games carry the weight on their shoulders to creators that has some noticeable impact. Reputation of success or of a certain style can either be a blessing for marketing or an overhanging shadow of the past that casts furthermore over a departure from it. Whether it’s directly associated or loosely together, comparisons are made through association of the creator. In many ways, Davey Wreden, the creator and the protagonist of The Beginner’s Guide, can best be described as the J.D. Salinger of video-games. The Beginner’s Guide appears to take these ideas quite metaphorically, yet it’s self-aware enough to be a trap for critics who make this game into some autobiographical piece on The Stanley Parable’s fame.

In short, this “game”—if an interactive piece of assets made by made-up characters given a narrative behind why they are a collage of incomplete ideas can be thought of a game—is an experiment. Sometimes it feels like a creator’s self-reflection piece; sometimes it may feel like a hidden moral told to pass on to other similar people; and sometimes, The Beginner’s Guide feels like an open mockery of itself and everyone who praises it.

The Beginner’s Guide… to What Exactly?

This question is asked with genuine honesty because it remains an elusive riddle towards making sense of The Beginner’s Guide: Who/What is The Beginner’s Guide intended for? Or asked in a more blunt manner: What is it a beginner’s guide for?

At first, the game does appear to be an autobiographical narrative about Davey and an unnamed developer named Coda who may or may not exist. Given the amount of real-world similarities as well as documented pressure under fame after the success of The Stanley Parable, TBG feels like a sobering lesson about reflection. Instead of a good versus evil narrative, the actual story behind TBG explores how far can a creator become a byproduct of their own creations and their own fame that they begin to impose meanings on to something that had no meaning there to begin with. It may feel at times like TBG is more so a lesson to pass-on to future indie developers of a warning of their own fame.

However, the role of Wreden in this experience is less about being the creator of something and more so about the pitfalls of being a critic. His greatest mistake is to impose meaning on someone else’s work where there was nothing to begin with; as a result, the critic tarnishes the creator’s original intention. This aspect promotes a view that critics are manipulators by their own drive to push their own ego that they tarnish the honesty behind an original work, and the fact that I am criticizing this criticism as a critic of another critic puts me on the spotlight. This is why TBG feels like the critics’ trap as trying to make sense of it as well as explaining why it works makes them as guilty as Wreden. Is this then what The Beginner’s Guide is intended for—a warning towards critics from creators to think about how they view other’s creations and how they have a domino effect towards their audience?

Or, as another possibility, is The Beginner’s Guide addressing the audience itself in a meta-commentary like The Stanley Parable? Is it addressing the actual individual audience or the collective audience that watches it (streamers, viewers, etc.)? What lesson then would it promote? We could continue with hundreds of other interpretations behind answering the initial question of asking who as well as what The Beginner’s Guide is addressing. The point behind all of these semantics is that the value or the take-away message of The Beginner’s Guide depends largely on what merits you see in its ramblings, and it greatly challenges your suspension of disbelief if it’s based on true events or a fiction of its own.

When Reality Is Stranger than Its Fictions

Here’s the problem when dozens of critics evaluate this game as an autobiographical piece or reference this game as a response to The Stanley Parable: You have to believe Davey Wreden is not self-aware of making this product on Steam.

It’s immediately apparent from the product description that The Beginner’s Guide knows it’s a critic’s trap, “The Beginner's Guide is a narrative video game from Davey Wreden, the creator of The Stanley Parable. It lasts about an hour and a half and has no traditional mechanics, no goals or objectives. Instead, it tells the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand.” Right there on the Steam page it boils down all the emotional baggage of the game into a concise set-up for critics to think it’s all about Davey when it’s really not. Especially after experiencing the more emotional moments of the storyline, it would be hard to be believed this last statement could be said when it reaches the height of its hysterics. It would also be hypocritical of Davey to share this game online after hinting at the lesson he learns.

You also have to stretch how much this interactive experience warrants being a game. The Stanley Parable warranted actually playing it because it was an Easter-egg hunt to test how much agency you truly have in games. TBG only is a game by the fact that it is about an unnamed game creator and what kind of story you can get from wandering around in his unfinished levels. Recommending it for anything other of its weirdness and its narrative is pointless because it has less purpose behind playing it than simply experiencing its strangeness. When the only justification to the question of “Is this really a game?” is that it takes place inside of game files, then I think you are stretching how that definition can cover.

“Don't Ever Tell Anybody Anything. If You Do, You Start Missing Everybody.”

People don’t often like art without purpose as it is a wandering experience that is difficult to judge its merits; however, I believe the greater concern is when art is aimless like a blindfolded person with a gun shouting at their targets. Despite this issue, The Beginner’s Guide succeeds like its predecessor in that it is something different and interesting to think and talk about, only this time it overrides the incentive to play it rather than discuss it. There are some merits behind it like its more interesting set-ups, its environments and its other small scenery details that give nice metaphorical qualities to its minimalistic style. It’s ultimately an experience that is difficult to describe in words why it is so appealing rather than letting you experience it for yourself, and the only way I could recommend it is if you purchase it with The Stanley Parable bundle.

What lingers in my mind about TBG as time goes by is that lingering quote by J.D. Salinger that I believe speaks more to the narrative of The Beginner’s Guide. It makes me wonder if the real narrative or the real Coda is something to lament about in the availability of The Beginner’s Guide or if The Beginner’s Guide itself embodies that statement about the price of fame.

Предисловие.
Признаюсь, это пока единственная игра к которой довольно сложно написать внятный отзыв и пояснить стоит ли в неё играть. Но лучше, как я считаю, всё же написать сейчас, когда игра только пройдена (потребовалась пара часов) и скажем так, эффект от неё ещё не отпустил.

Итак перед нами "экскурсия" в мир некого разработчика. Даже в два мира (или нет) - первый, молчаливый, музыкальный и геймплейный, второй - голосовой-поясняющий. Замкнутый(?) разработчик по имени Кода, который клепает себе игры и его друг - Риден, который эти игры по своим собственым причинам нам демонстрирует. Второй пытается разобраться в мотивах первого и узнать почему он делает игры именно так, а не иначе, попутно показывая нам их и пытаясь обосновать их суть.

Игра конечно на редкость странная. Глубокий смысл! Ищите! Ищите его! И да, он тут действительно есть. Хотя если бы не внезапная и туманная концовка...
Но к сожалению, игра конечно не для всех. Не то чтобы жанр вам не понравился или вот вы такой недалёкий, поэтому тупой и не поймёте. Нет. Просто подача очень уж своеобразная. Даром что от разработчика The Stanley Parable. Так же не буду говорить: "Эхэй! Любите философию, инди, приключения и не обычный сюжет - эта игра для вас!" Отнюдь. Она интересная, но порог вхождения уж больно высок. Без излишнего интереса от скриншотов или трейлера не сунешься.

В общем если будут лишние деньги, вам интересны глубокие истории и размышления - повествования советую обратить внимание и купить, но нет никаких гарантий что вы поймёте суть игры, и понравится ли вам она вообще. Даже так. Если по странице в "Магазине" примерно представляете что вас ждёт, то вот от этой мысли и отталкиваетесь стоит ли игра свеч.

I enjoyed the game. A lot. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I would like to instead use this space to attempt to convince you not to refund this game after completing it.

Sure, it’s a short game that you completed in less than two hours. Sure, you’ve owned it for less than 14 days. Sure, you didn’t enjoy it. But that doesn’t mean you should refund it.

Refunding a game after finishing it is like going to a pizza place, buying and eating a slice of pizza and then asking for your money back. You already consumed the product. You’re exploiting the refund system.

The creator, Davey Wreden, put a lot of work into making this game. By playing the entire game and then refunding it, you are robbing him of the fruits of his labor. If you are unwilling to lose ten dollars, then you shouldn’t buy the game in the first place. Watch a playthrough instead. It won’t be nearly as good as getting to experience everything in-game, but it's better than nothing.

You might read this and think, “But it’s only $10! It’s not that big of a deal!” This would be true if you were the only person who refunded it, but you’re not. Multiple people have decided to refund this game and other short ones as well, making the loss quantifiable and significant. By refunding it, YOU are choosing to be a part of the problem and you are ruining the gaming industry for indie developers.

Another excuse you might try to use for refunding this is that you morally disagree with the creator retailing someone else’s work. In case it somehow wasn’t obvious that is not what is happening here. This game is fiction. The story told here is either completely fabricated, or is multiple truths strung together to form a cohesive narrative.

TL;DR: Refunding a game you finished is bad, and if you do it, you suck.

It's a rather short experience, being only two hours or so.
Personally, I took my time and ended up on a bit less than that even.

As I've seen some say in earlier reviews, I would recommend revisiting this over the years if you ever plan on playing it.
I was surprised to have found my perspective had changed so much, as I could not remember these feelings surfacing previously.

This is a raw review right after completing The Beginner's Guide.

Shaken, speechless, confused, vulnerable... A subset of emotions this game has made me feel.

It truly is an emotional, well delivered story of something that can be related to on a deep and personal level.

I will be recommending this game to all. It really is a masterpiece.

This game will challange all you think you know about how video games should be made.

As an artist, game designer, and hyper introspective individual who ponders the meaning of existance; I loved this game.

Don't look at screenshots, don't read spoilers, just play it.

If you are impatient or aren't a deep thinker you might get bored so you may just want to pass this up, if you enjoy deep conversations about life or philosophy then play 'The Beginner's Guide'.

The Beginner's Guide is a pretty special game. A very enlightening and moving experience. It's like a found code game, a playable documentary of short abandoned projects. And within it, lies issues of self-confidence, validation, creative and personal frustrations, loneliness, and selfishness. Great personal drama.

我不知道该说什么,我也不会抛出“什么是游戏?”这类我自己都搞不懂的问题。
我只想向所有喜欢 The Stanley Parabl(史丹利的寓言)的朋友们推荐这款 The Beginner's Guide(新手指南)

也许是我们每个人都想的太多,说得太多。
我甚至不确定自己是否应该推荐这款游戏,但是如果它是一款商业作品,那它的确值得更多人购买和赏识。
update in 2017:希望作者早日推出续作

Comentario Robótico-Analítico: "The Beginner's Guide"

¿Saben qué es "Walking Simulator"? Es un género poco convencional y constantemente señalado ♥♥♥ indiferencia a causa de su inexistente jugabilidad, y en lo personal me indigna. En cualquier medio artístico soy muy admirador de las obras conceptuales y que distan de la fórmula clásica, mis gustos musicales a menudo son prueba de esto.

The Beginner's Guide está catalogado como "Juego", pero dista de ser uno. La mecánica es inexistente más allá de caminar y escuchar o leer, similar a Dear Esther o What Remains of Edith Finch; y al igual que esas obras, ésta está muy centrada en su argumento. Este género no es nada nuevo para mí, y The Beginner's Guide tiene el mérito de ser uno de los títulos menos convencionales de un género que ya es poco convencional.

¿Pero y de qué trata? No es divertido, ni largo o gracioso, ni siquiera es un juego. The Beginner's Guide es una obra introspectiva que da lugar a múltiples interpretaciones y se abre a ser valorada de distintas formas dependientes de las experiencias personales del consumidor.

Todos tenemos un Coda en nosotros, quizá sea hora de volver a hablarle.

Yet another game I found on Steam while sorting by low price, because I was bored af.
Wasn't expecting much.
It's more of a story or movie than it is a game, but it is combined with aspects of a game to give it the touch of reality needed to make the message clearer. It took me about an hour and 45 minutes to complete. Good game 7/10 for sale price of $2.49 that I got it for.

"When I am around you, I feel physically ill. You desperately need something and I cannot give it to you. I literally do not have it. Struggling to come up with new ideas is not making me depressed, low points are just a part of the process. The fact that you think I am frustrated or broken says more about you than about me. I realize this doesn't make sense to you just yet. Which is fine, you're not my problem to solve. But I do hope that one day it clicks, and that you make peace with this thing you are wrestling. And when you finally see what I'm talking about: don't say anything."

It really makes you think, doesn't it?

Удивительная игра, аналог которой я пока не встречала. Суть в том, что вы путешествуете по мини играм, созданным другом рассказчика. Через них вы многое узнаете об этом человеке, о его переживаниях, мечтах, о каких-то моментах из прошлого. По факту это просто рассказ, с возможностью походить по локациям. Но будь это лишь история, не подкрепленная визуальным рядом, она бы не произвела должного эффекта. Благодаря же подобному повествованию вы сами погружаетесь в мир другого человека, буквально влезая в его шкуру, проходя путь, уже изведанный рассказчиком. Игра полна темных, задумчивых, депрессивных сцен. Она заставляет чувствовать себя одиноким, покинутым. Голос героя всегда будет рядом, но во многом именно он заставляет атмосферу работать именно в ключе безысходности. Этот человек тут не, чтобы помочь вам ощутить себя лучше, а наоборот, усугубить все. И как мне кажется главным достоинством игры является концовка. Она прекрасна и надолго заседает в голове.
Подводя итог можно сказать, что игра хороша и подойдет для спокойного вечера, наполненного рефлексией. Это очень камерный, теплый проект.

游戏是第九艺术
有这件作品为证
---------------------------------------------------------------
有些人说这游戏就是听作者在发游戏界的牢骚,根本不好玩。
我同意。

因为这件作品并不是给你用来“玩”的,打打杀杀、种田造兵是一种游戏性的体现,超越现实、多样化的自由也是一种游戏性的体现,但这不是全部。

电子游戏的本质是以电子化工具作为载体的游戏,就像实体象棋和电子象棋的关系一样,像西游记的小说和漫画、电影、电子游戏一样,是文化信息在不同介质上的表现形式。所以某些人口中的“XX”是50年前是摇滚乐,20年前是金庸小说,现在就是虚拟游戏。可笑,他们都不懂本质。

你看,我把本应该是游戏的评测也写成了牢骚,为什么?我说不出口。

人在某些不太好的心情下会听些悲伤的音乐,高兴的时候会听些欢快的音乐,而不是反过来,所以说有些战斗游戏玩家来这里真的是走错地方了。

我是个休闲玩家,爱各种种类的游戏。05年为精灵鼠小弟的一个左右做滑板特技的小游戏所吸引;08年晚上下线时会为小摩尔执行一段躺在公主床上的动画;10年为GTA着迷,不过我当时还是个低级玩家,不看剧情只会杀;1年认识了ALEX MERCER,我甚至不敢相信有人用CLEO的换模型功能做了个游戏;13年被AC2里的精细建模给惊艳到(妈呀眼珠子都是能动的);16年决心入steam(深似海)。

有些玩家看[Ready Player One]时,会很惊喜有很多人物我见过我玩过;有的玩家则会哭。

我甚至都不爱游戏,我只爱这个圈子。

I'm never going to play this game again. Not because it's a bad game, it's one of the most well thought out, incredible games I've ever played. I'm never going to play it again because it's so emotional.
It's a game everyone should play before they die, but you'll only ever need to play it once.

Это особая игра.

В ней есть какая-то энергия, которой нет в других играх.

Энергия, которая не уйдёт даже спустя несколько лет, я думаю.

Если вы имеете возможность купить и поиграть в эту игру - покупайте и играйте.

Не читайте отзывов.

Не смотрите обзоров.

Это игра, для которой нужно уделить немного времени.

Вы не поймёте суть игры сразу с самого начала.

Для этого нужно время.

Время, которое вы уделили этой игре.

10/10.

Principios
The Beginner's Guide es un Walking Simulator en el que una voz en off te explica los trabajos de creación de videojuegos que ha hecho su amigo mientras te abres camino en ellos.

El juego expone temas sobre la depresión, la falta de inspiración, la soledad, fracasos personales etc. Temas parecidos a los contados en Awkward Dimensions Redux

Al igual que pasó ♥♥♥ Dear Esther este juego ha mejorado muchísimo gracias a la aportación de la comunidad. En este caso Enrique Colinet ha hecho un doblaje notable que podéis descargar desde su Blog[enriquecoli.net] y a través de su canal de Youtube.

Après The Stanley Parable, un jeu qui vous fera réfléchir sur le profil de "Joueur", les Staudios Galactic Cafe sortent maintenant un nouveau jeu pour vous parler des Jeux eux-même.

Toujours dans le même genre, avec un narrateur qui vous compte son histoire pendant que vous jouez, The Beginner's Guide vous fera redécouvrir l'univers vidéo ludique, et changera à jamais votre perception de la chose.
A condition bien sur que vous ayez un esprit ouvert, compréhensif, et que pour vous un jeu ne se limite pas à des graphismes ou à un gameplay. Car il faut se le dire : Un jeu à la base n'est qu'une idée.

Et c'est cette thèse que vas vous faire découvrir le narrateur, une succession d'idées, la plus part du temps non achevées, mais ces idées valent bien mieux que vous ne le pensiez.

Tout au long du jeu, on vous racontera l'histoire du narrateur, ami de "Coda", un programmeur et développer de jeu utilisant Source, qui dans sa vie à eu d'innombrables idées de jeux, mais n'en a quasiment jamais fini aucuns;
Pour lui rendre hommage, et montrer au monde ses merveilleuses idées, le narrateur à donc publier dans un seul jeu toutes les idées de Coda.
Il vous en parlera et vous fera comprendre l'étendu de l'univers vidéo ludique, et ce qu'il faut voir au delà des limites.

Les aventures dans ces niveaux vous rappellerons tout d'abbord que derrière chaque jeu vidéo, il y a une personne (Ou plusieurs), et que vous êtes dans l'univers de sa création ; De ses idées.
Lorsque quelqu'un créer un recueil pour ses idées, et les exposer (Livre, Film, Court-métrage, Art, etc...) et vous plonge dedans, vous comprennez qu'il veut vous montrer son point de vue sur le monde.
Pourquoi donc lorsque vous jouez à un jeu vidéo, une grande majoritée des personnes en oublient la raison d'être : Le programmateur a-t-il voulu faire passer un message ? Donner sa vision des choses dans son environnement 3D ?
Tout cela est malheureusement oublié.

Les jeux de Coda que vous testerez serons différents de ce à quoi vous avez eu l'habitude. Tout premièrement parce qu'ils ne sont pas finis, mais parce qu'ils donnent accès à leur créateur, on le comprends dans ses créations.

Il y a cette phrase si puissante : "Je pense qu'on devrais parler des jeux pour ce qu'ils sont et non pour ce qu'ils ne sont pas".
Certes, les jeux que vous allez tester ne sont pas finis, ne sont pas aussi beaux que les derniers jeux du moments, mais pourquoi comparer à ce qu'il n'a pas ? Pourquoi ne pas se fixer sur un point commun qu'ils aurons toujours tous : Une idée.
Qu'elle soit finie ou non, une idée peut être puissante et fascinante.

Certains des jeux de Coda permettent d'appercevoir la galaxie par une fenêtre, afin de vous rapeller à quel point vous êtes minuscule dans cet environnement 3D sans limites, et que parfois on se fixe seulement sur ce qu'on apperçois, et non ce qu'il y a eu dela des murs. Parfois en manque un contenu riche, qui ne se voit pas, parce qu'on a pas simplement pris ce petit temps pour comprendre le jeu, pour le regarder dans les yeux, et tenter de le résoudre intérieurement. Car non, finir l'histoire d'un jeu, ce n'est pas le finir. Tant que vous n'avez pas compris l'idée d'origine et les messages passés, vous ne l'aurez jamais terminé.

Les messages qu'essaient de faire passer Coda à travers ses projets sont assez clair, j'éspère au moins que vous savez un minimum vous creuser la tête, pour comprendre que chaque univers, chaque déplacements, chaque sons ont une raison d'être, qu'ils n'ont pas été fais par hazard, et c'est là qu'il faut vous fixer : Pourquoi ?

Un très grand nombre de jeux abandonnés avec des concepts plus qu'intéressants, parfois juste fascinant qui vous changerons à jamais votre vision des jeux vidéos.

Впервые я прошел эту игру на пиратке когда-то давным давно. Если честно, я ожидал второй The Stanley Parable – этакая игра-аттракцион, которая сможет увлечь на несколько часов и оставит хорошие впечатления. Из-за таких ожиданий в первый раз я не понял суть этой игры и благополучно забыл о чем она была.
Проходит время, я уже сам пытаюсь заниматься творчеством и опять натыкаюсь на эту игру. После второго прохождения, меня поразило как много деталей я упустил раньше. После нее задаешься вопросом, реальна ли история рассказанная в игре и какой смысл в это вкладывает автор? Одно могу сказать точно, он отличный рассказчик.
Меня эта игра немного вдохновила, она как минимум необычная. Если вы не боитесь инди-игр, то можете заценить. А если вы занимаетесь каким-либо видом творчества, особенно работая в игровой индустрии, то я настоятельно рекомендую пройти эту игру и поразмыслить о чем она.

Exposition, Concurrence and Summation
An exercise in futility regarding the existential crises of humanity and ones deeply personal want for purpose within a given system.

At first I wanted to ignore this game until I saw Ken Levine and Peter Molyneux speaking to each other over twitter about it. Two of my favorite game developers.

I wish there were an option for giving this a sideways thumb as I can't easily recommend my experience with this game and it is a game. I'm not about to have that argument. But its.. lacking. I feel personally, that these things have been said before.

Now, is this game art? Are games art? I don't care, I'm not here to tell you that. What I can tell you is that this is an interactive guide though some builds of games that “coda” made while a narrator explains what the build is, what it was and what his own interpretations of why design choice “X” was made over design choice “Y”

Its hard to explain; and despite what you've likely heard. While it does not make sense on its face, around the 1 hour mark I felt I had an understanding of what the narrator was trying to convey. At least, to my satisfaction. In short, being creative... as well as existing derives its meaning from those who give it meaning. There is no external force pushing you forward, there is only you and your decisions living in the now, the present.

Why is that there? Ask 10 different people and its likely you'll get 10 different responses.

Its a reflection piece summed up best in a quote from BioShock 2 (which I know Ken Levine had nothing if very little to do with BioShock 2 forgive me) made by the character Eleanor Lamb

“Love is just a chemical, we give it meaning by choice”

新手指南——游戏制作入门到放弃
这不是一款游戏,这是游戏制作者的一个内心独白,游戏里面游戏性几乎为零
以下是剧透
游戏的展开由narrator讲述coda的设计的游戏开始讲起,从他设计的cs地图到最后的tower,可以清楚看到coda的变化,coda渴望自己的游戏被认可,然而自己却故意设计障碍阻止玩家继续游玩这个游戏,coda不在乎游戏性,也不在乎这个游戏设计出来能不能被人玩。coda到最后慢慢地封闭了自己,对narrator的帮助不理不睬,甚至恼怒narrator到处展示他的游戏。coda选择了活在自己的世界里。coda到后面刻意地想玩家毁坏他的作品,甚至对coda自己进行攻击。narrator极其想帮助coda,然而一直徒劳无功,这种绝望的氛围在最后体现地淋漓尽致,这是一段只有一小时游戏时间的令人绝望的独白

If you don't already know, this is not really a game. I can't say more, but it is more of a narrated story rather than a game. It is very short and I knew it was going to be different compared to The Stanley Parable and it was not going to be a puzzle game of any kind. But I didn't know at all what the game was about, and I think that was an advantage for me, diving into the game completely ignorant.

This is the narration of 'something' through a series of events explained by the narrator.

It is extremely emotional, and it is not easy to like. I liked it, and I think any sensible person, or any artist, will find it very interesting.

Автор The Stanley Parable себя превзошел. Рассказывая историю, он невольно заставляет примерить её на себя. Это не то чтобы даже история, вы просто в какой-то момент обнаруживаете, что стали невольным свидетелем диалога, участников которого вы даже не знаете. Вам так кажется совсем недолго, после чего вы понимаете, что уже знаете, и знаете лучше, чем даже некоторых своих друзей. И вот начиная с этого момента, история может задеть в вас нечто важное. Очень большое количество этого самого нечто важного. Как и любое истинное искусство.

Для тех кто еще не понял - игра своих денег стоит даже без скидки, рекомендую взять. Если не боитесь.

天哪刚刚意识到The Beginner's Guide最后credits里写的For R. 这个R是谁。
在2016年Davey Wreden的一场高校演讲中,他提到自己在The Stanley Parable发售之后ego膨胀,为了external validation参加了所有能参加的宣传活动在欧洲直接把身体累垮,回到美国之后精神也难以为继,开始对自己最好的朋友,同时也是室友Robin态度很差。这种单方面的折磨关系直到Robin坐下来跟他坦白:和Davey待在一个房间都会让Robin感到physically ill,Davey才意识到自己出了问题,开始心理咨询寻求帮助。
physically ill这个表述在The Beginner's Guide最后Coda对Davey写下的话里,是最戳痛人的一句,原来正是出自他现实中的朋友。Robin Arnott是The Stanley Parable的音响设计师,看履历还参与过其他一些很有名的独立游戏比如Antichamber和Everything【前者对我来说有点难,后者我很喜欢】。他也出现在了The Beginner's Guide的额外感谢名单中。
我想,这个游戏终究还是一个apology message吧,虽然Coda是虚构的,但Davey Wreden确实想要对自己的朋友道歉。故事中的Davey有hero complex和对他人作品和状态强加解读的挪用行为,现实中的Davey因为名利带来的盲目而忽视和践踏了友谊。尽管这中间千差万别,却仍然tells something in common and personal。也许这不仅是apology letter,同时也是一场自我therapy。2022年上弟弟的游戏直播频道玩史丹利的寓言终极豪华版时,Wreden看起来放松而随意,尽管头发日渐减少,身形也在发福,但精神上似乎已经好多了,比起2016年那场几乎是发泄倾诉式therapy的演讲,他似乎已经能在某种程度上与自己的天赋和痛苦和解。
在和弟弟的直播中,Davey透露了下一作正在做,比起史丹利的寓言更加严肃和黑暗一些(有comedy要素但不是comedy游戏) ​。期待他的每一部作品。在我心中他是一个真正的天才

Si ♥♥♥ The Stanley Parable Davey Wreden sublimó la forma en la que los videojuegos se comunican ♥♥♥ el jugador a través de sus mecánicas y la posibilidad de elección, ♥♥♥ The Beginner's Guide crea una obra reflexiva y autoconsciente sobre la dificultad de crear y compartir. Una aventura narrativa, sin descuidar en ningún momento el papel de la interacción, cargada de energía, fuerza y simbolismo. Maravilloso, aunque menos redondo que Stanley; también, muy diferente y difícil de comparar ♥♥♥ aquel. Compradlo y experimentadlo, porque merece muchísimo la pena.

Normally when I write reviews, I'd make it long. But all you need to know is this: This game is fantastic, unique and a must play. Don't read long reviews, watch the trailer, look at screenshots, anything. Just play it.

You won't regret it.

It's not a game, a game is something where you have control over the narrative in some way. This is an experience. Not for everyone, but that becomes clear within the first chapter. Personally I love very linear experiences (almost like movies) where I am being told a story to form an attachment - which this most certainly does.

Plus une confession qu'un véritable jeu, Davey Wreden se livre à nous à travers une multitude de scènes assez troublante. Encore une fois la narration est à son comble mais, cette fois si pas de monde ouvert a de multiples choix et du fun un peu partout, on est devant une histoire triste et prenante qui fait reflechir sur chacun mais surtout sur ce createur qu'est Davey Wreden et le pourquoi du comment de son univers. Toutes les réponses ne sont pas livrées mais, une partie du personnage se dévoile.

Review

+ Merits:

The Beginner's Guide is a small journey in the museum of a game designer's personal life in which the main plot is to explore, understand, and deduce his character and motivations by playing his games. The game presents a thought-provoking matter: most gamers unintentionally overlook the fact that game creators (except Epic Games, EA, Activision, Bethesda, etc) are people with emotions, feelings, and a thirsty need for validation. They may face some adversities in their life or may get emotionally broken from players negatively impacting their creations. It also points the player's attention to see the reflected image of the game developer's soul and thoughts in his games.

The game consists of a curated set of unreleased surreal games that are made by an incognito identified as Coda and is narrated by Davey Wreden who claims to be his friend. Davey Wreden did a fabulous job narrating the game with a very emotional and lively voice commenting on each crucial detail of his friend's games. Davey Wreden succeeds at establishing a strong connection between him, Coda, and the player with his excellent narration. The script in this game is so good that it makes the player feel as if the narrator is talking to him lively without scripting or even reading a single line behind the scenes.

The story part of the game is where things get interesting. It is very well presented and paced. I think most of the players will feel related to it somehow, and their understanding of the tale is robustly reliant on their life experiences. The game's central challenge is the lack of collaborative communication. The player is to overcome this and extract most of the game's interpretations from the author then construct theories to draw an explanation out of it. I strongly recommend walking through this game at least twice to extract most of the clues it has to offer.

- Flaws:

Sadly, the game leaves some critical questions unanswered. I may justify this act, as it encourages players to theorize them. Some people may like this and some like myself don't. I prefer this act in the small details of the game, but I hate it when those details are decisive. As I mentioned before, the game is a small journey; it would take 2 hours to complete at max. Some players may find this game too short or not enough for what is to be expected.

> Verdict:

I staunchly recommend this experience for philosophical gamers who like to profoundly meditate and think about games as a bridge between people's minds. It's an emotional walk-through that touches the player's heart with the story of a soul that loved gaming as a whole and made games that can only fit him as a zealous gamer.

I have been wanting to give my take on this game for a while. I suggest playing the game before you read this, or any reviews for that matter.

I, like many others, went into this 'game' with Davey the narrator walking me through, introducing me to a man named Coda's art. By the title, I assumed this was going to teach me how to begin making games. It started out really confusing, and almost boring, as Coda's first set of games were just him goofing around with the development, not making finished products on purpose. Ok, i've seen many unfinished games before so nothing special. Davey starts giving his interpretation on these games, how raw they seemed, and in my personal opinion, I wasn't following the hype he was putting out. It sort of reminded me of those English classes that questioned any and every part of a story, as if every word spewed is some shakespearean masterpiece that we just don't understand yet. When Davey expressed his worry with Coda's prison games, it put Coda in a light that made him seemed troubled, and made me feel sorry for him. Of course, hearing it from a supposedly 'reliable' narrator with no reason to lie, would give me no other word to believe, as the viewer is under the impression that these two people know each other quite well by now. At this point, i'm subconsciously applauding Davey for his unsolicited concern with a friend. Between the door puzzle, lamposts, and seemingly eerie atmosphere, I started coming up with my own idea of who Coda was through his games, similar to what Davey did.

Here's where it gets sketchy for me: Davey shows us an infinitely looping cleaning game by Coda. He says "This is the first game he actually called me up to show me." At the beginning of the game, when Davey is telling us how he and Coda met and became 'friends'. He admits he was being a little pushy and over zealous with getting to know this guy. This is implying that every game shown to Davey was solicited, giving no reason for them to have to be playable or coherent in any way, if he was never planning on releasing them. It leads me to believe that Davey is being a little over dramatic with his diagnosis of Coda. It makes me wonder if they are actually friends, or is Davey just some guy that Coda met and asks him to see his games?

Things get a little more intense as his games get more personal and self destructive. Even though by the end of the game we are exposed to the fact that Davey has some problems of his own (his constant need to be the hero of someone else to compensate for his own shortcomings), we can't ignore that some of Coda's games did touch some topics that made you question his emotional health.

Whether this game was a true story, or elaborately staged, it was phenomenal and thought provoking. I'd recommend to anyone that doesn't mind interactive stories with not much physical involvement on your part.

This little travel is a sensitive story about gamedesigner, but it is about any creative person, artist, poet or musician aswell.
Walk, listen and taste your OWN life experience through your OWN memories, ups and downs. From that point of view the game turns into reading your personal old diary.

This is art. It may be classified as a game, but it should be judged as a work of art. Don't buy ths if you question the length. Ths game is meant to be played through, and then thought about. It is both cold, and heartfelt. I'll stop, dare I ruin the suprise, but if you can be entertained by art, buy this.

This review will be short as I highly HIGHLY suggest you play it yourself, cause The Beginner's Guide is phenomenal.

The game is created by the writer of The Stanley Parable and follows on the creator talking about a few unfinished games by a developer named Coda. As you go through the game the questions asked by the developer is what you think about the creator of the game. I will stop here to avoid spoiling anything more, cause I believe The Beginner's Guide needs to be experienced by everyone.

Graphically this game is simple, it changes styles with each coming game. It changes from space stations, to prisons and abstract environments.

The game is less of a game and more of a walking simulator with a very good narrative. If you played Stanley Parable you can imagine the same experience (Minus the choice making).

The story only takes an hour to finish. After that there's no reason to replay it.

As weird as this might sound, I usually never recommend short games at full price, but this seems to be my only exception. The Beginner's Guide is absolutely phenomenal and owning it is a must.

Pros:
+ Fantastic Narrative
+ Game Ideas are great
+ Great Soundtrack and Narrator is amazing

♥♥♥♥:
N/A

Final Rating:
9.5/10

许许多多的游戏制作人,就像《史丹利的寓言》的制作人Davey一样,热爱分享,迫切地需要别人来赞赏,这是他们继续走下去的重要驱动力;但是Davey的好友,同时也是《The Beginner's Guide》中一系列抽象、令人难以理解的颇具实验性的游戏的创造者Coda没有这样的驱动力。作为一个有些社交障碍的、满腔热情的创作者,他更喜欢寻求自己的真理与乐趣。直到有一天,Davey闯入了他的世界。他没有拒绝这个闯入者,而是与他分享自己的作品,但他从来不向Davey解释,拒绝他的问题。他的游戏是一个个谜题,就像他自己一样,解决不了的谜题,被困在那儿,也从不向谁求救。

卡夫卡把自己藏在地窖里,畏惧着父亲,畏惧着世界,终日埋头创作,他嘱咐自己的朋友将他的手稿烧毁,不存一件去出版,但朋友违背了他的意愿;Coda终日在电脑前,在他最后的游戏里厉声责备那个不速之客,将他的作品给别人看,他可能希望这些游戏永远躺在硬盘的那个角落,被埋没在游戏史的长河中,但Davey却将它们集合起来,做成《The Beginners' Guide》,放在了大众的面前。The Beginners' Guide,新人指南,它是给游戏制作人和玩家的一个启迪,告诉我们可能从开始就搞错了什么——明明有无数的可能性,我们却选择了一条最狭隘、肤浅的道路。这或许是Coda想要传达的,虽然他从未尝试过向任何人去传达。我不想给他贴上任何标签,但他真的和我所了解的卡夫卡相似到了一种地步:想要表达自己的内心,却又在最最基础的走出自己的圈子的那步上停滞不前。但往往只有这样的才能挖掘出深层的东西,去探寻新的领域。

我不知道Coda现在怎么样,我也不希望去了解。早早就买了游戏,直到现在才玩、写评测,我只想对Davey和Coda都说声“谢谢”。

If you liked Stanley (I did way much), then you will like this. I am not certain why this is called "Beginners Guide" but it really is more of an adventure than a "normal" game. But is is fun, and exciting and I recommend it.

A mesmerizing new experience

Appealing at first and mesmerizing afterwards, this game presents a journey into a new form of narrative. Definitely recommended for those looking for a non-pretentious experience where memories, feelings and emotions play a more important role than on a typical Source Engine game.

I can't believe this game sat in my Library for so long, unplayed. It's been years since I purchased it and, despite my absolute love for The Stanley Parable, I somehow couldn't convince myself into playing it.

Then somehow, one random sunday afternoon I decided to give it a chance, and it felt cathartic. Was this what the creator intended? Who knows, but TBG's personal and intimate approach somehow resonated with me both as a creator myself and as a player that has trouble finding the strength to enjoy games lately.

I don't even know how to recommend this, but it helped me. Somehow.

Just give this one a chance to get through you.

A look at what being an artist is, or maybe just being a person in some ways.

Just like the Stanley Parable, I felt like I was trapped in one of my own nightmares, only with a narrator.

This is art.

It's not a game for everyone. It's a fantastic narrative. I feel weird. It took me less than 2 hours to finish but I am experiencing a similar feeling I get after a really good TV series I've been watching for a while ends.

Now, where should I start?

I was really hyped, when I heard about a new game from the TSP creator,
so when it came out, I immideately got it. I sat down today to play it and
what I got leaves me unsure and with a lot of unanswered questions.

While playing The Beginner's Guide, I had really mixed feelings. At first, it seemed interesting, because I was expecting another quirky, fun game like TSP.
When I realized, that this isn't what The Beginner's Guide is, I did not really care much, I was enjoying the narrative, and Coda's games. But as it got closer to the end, it seemed to become whiny and desperate. I started to feel ripped off, since I paid eight bucks for what I thought to be an egoistic developer's cry for attention.

But now, about an hour after I finished the game, I am starting to think about it.
Was that actually what the developer wanted? Making the player unsure if he should feel
ripped off or touched? Is the game less about struggle than about questioning yourself?

Even when starting to write this review, I had the clear idea, that if I knew Coda
was real, I wouldn't feel ripped off and if I knew he wasn't, I would.
But now I realise that it doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter if he's real or not.
My guess is that actually Davey Wreden himself is Coda (The name sounds awefully similiar to the word Coder, his profession), but it doesn't matter either. He achieved his goal. He made me think.

So to conclude,
the people who are rating The Beginner's Guide negatively mostly do so, because
they expected a game. But this is not a game, it is much rather is a piece of art.

Tja, was soll man sagen ohne nichts über das Spiel zu verraten? Ich weiß es nicht.
Es handelt sich um eine Reise in eine Welt, die eigentlich nichtssagend bleibt. Es ist der Spieler, der dem Spiel die Bedeutung gibt. Alles ist gut gemacht. Besonders schön ist das Gefühl, welches man im Vorgänger schon kannte, vielleicht eine Idee zu haben aber dann doch total daneben zu liegen.
Ich kann es empfehlen. Aber man muss sich darauf einlassen können.

Achja, es ist sehr kurz

Do I recommend this game?
No. I'd not recommend this to anyone without feeling terrible about myself afterwards.
It's so depressing. It makes life seem hopeless and stupid. It makes you confused about how to feel about the developer of The Stanley Parable.

But on the other hand, I do recommend it. It's a very unique experience and makes you see things from another perspective.
10/10, 0/10, 69/420. I'm confused. I don't know what to rate this game, but in the end, I have to rate it positive.

This is the greatest emotional game of All Time. I've played it around 7 times and it feels like a new experience every time. It's completely worth the 10 dollars. It's incredible how the author went from a game like the Stanley Parable to such a serious game like this one. 11/10 would play again.

Эта игра - не совсем игра. Это - немного интерактивная документалка о разработке игр. Автор проводит игрока по серии разных игр другого человека, рассказывая, как они создавались и что за ними кроется.
По крайней мере, такова завязка. На самом деле, история игры рассказывает о куда большем, чем просто серии уровней с их фишечками. На мой взгляд, это крик творческого человека о проблемах творения, о стагнации, о развитии, о воздействии на игрока и коммуникации с ним и, самое главное, с самим собой - что движет творческим человеком, как завести его движок, как реагировать на то, что видят другие люди в созданном?
Если вы занимаетесь искусством, создаете что-нибудь, то, думаю, вам стоит посмотреть на эту игру - она наверняка срезонирует с вашим нутром и вашим творческим началом.

I went into this game not knowing that it was purely a work of fiction. Until halfway through, I still held the belief that it was mainly just a guy trying to reach out to his friend. Then, it slowly ramped up the madness, and I began to realize that it was, in fact, fiction- but, even as a fictional story, this game hits home it a lot of ways.
Very much a philosphical work, and if you intend to play it, be sure to have an open mind. It speaks to the values we hold today as a people. It shows why external validation is not necessary, and even harmful. And it makes you think about context and how we judge the people we know based on our miniscule amount of knowledge on them.
Overall, a good game. I would give it an 8/10.
I also found the narrator's voice very soothing. 9/10.

Ох, для меня это стало совершенно неожиданным сюрпризом.

Перед тем, как запустить The Beginner's Guide, я знал всего две вещи: это сборник игр-прототипов, а его автор — создатель The Stanley Parable. Если вы знаете столько же, я добавлю только одно: The Beginner's Guide куда глубже, чем можно подумать. Дальше не читайте, покупайте и проникайтесь — всё прохождение займёт лишь полтора часа.

Но эти полтора часа претендуют на серьёзное художественное произведение. Прототипы — лишь кирпички для нарратива. На самом деле сквозь обманчиво бессвязные пробы пера проходит полноценная история с метафорами, персонажами, авторскими размышлениями и пронзительной лирикой.

При этом Дэйви Реден выступает закадровым рассказчиком и задаёт правильную динамику — вы вряд ли заскучаете за все полтора часа. Многое автор разжёвывает предельно понятно, но тем не менее простор для размышлений, рефлексии и прочего остаётся изрядный. Более того, для полного понимания The Beginner's Guide, скорее всего, вам потребуется пройти её ещё раз.

Мне кажется, я и без того сейчас написал слишком много. Поэтому в заключение просто скажу, что The Beginner's Guide — удивительное и уникальное переживание, которое стоит каждой своей копейки.

Sucesso é o estado ou condição de atender a uma definida faixa de expectativas. Foi isso que o algoritmo do google me disse no momento em que escrevo esta análise. Mas e se o fracasso por sua vez, fosse uma grande realização pessoal em sua mente? Permanecer no silencioso anonimato ou atender a grande demanda para uma barulhenta aceitação?

A psique humana tem dessas peças fascinantes, como o porque emoções "ruins/negativas" tem na maioria das vezes um impacto mais profundo em nossas mentes do que as "boas emoções"? O medo nos cerca a todo momento, mesmo que sutilmente, já a bravura as vez é algo repentino, imediato. A alegria de ganhar uma aposta, não é tão duradoura quanto a tristeza e amargura de se perder uma. O sentimento de ajudar alguém com problemas mentais, jamais sera maior que o fardo de omitir ajuda a alguém nesta condição. Ainda há tempo para voltar?

Em Beginner's Guide, Davey acompanha sua jogativa na boa e velha quarta parede, narrando a história de seu supostamente amigo Coda, um criador de jogos independetes que nunca publicou seus jogos. A gameplay basicamente são breves passagens por criações de seu amigo, cada uma com profunda indentidade, transmitindo seus pensamento e anseios.

Por se tratar de um jogo curto não vou aprofundar muito, recomendo se você gosta de experiencias diferentes, que levantem questões pra refletir. É interessante pensar sobre até que ponto o que criamos/fazemos tem significado para nós mesmos apesar de não ser bem aceito ou aprovado. Até que ponto vale se esgotar para entregar algo que não é verdadeiro? Até que ponto você precisa concluir algo para dar significado a alguém, ou deixar pontas abertas em sua própria mente. Assim quando Coda questiona Davey em um diálogo "Um jogo precisa ser realmente jogável?"

Deixo aqui duas recomendações do mesmo gênero: Press Any Button e the static speaks my name

Últimamente se ha puesto de moda un término: "Simulador de paseos". Este término se usa para referirse a juegos que, a veces, de juego tienen poco, ya que consisten únicamente en caminar, avanzando por un escenario dado, y presentan poco o ningún desafío.
Podría argumentar ahora durante horas sobre lo que yo podría considerar un juego y lo que no, pero me parece un tema tan subjetivo y una actitud tan prepotente la de creerme ♥♥♥ derecho a determinar que algo que otra persona puede disfrutar no sea un juego, que prefiero no entrar en ese tema.

Diré en su lugar que podemos situar a este "The Beginner's Guide" dentro de ese género: Los "simuladores de paseos".
En él, nuestro objetivo será explorar una serie de entornos guiados por nuestro narrador, mientras descubrimos cosas sobre la trama, y seguimos avanzando.

La premisa es simple. Davey será nuestro narrador y guía de la experiencia mientras nos deja probar una serie de juegos que su amigo Coda programó a lo largo de unos años. Comenzando por lo más simple y moviéndonos hacia cosas más complejas, Davey nos hablará de su relación ♥♥♥ Coda mientras nos explica de qué trata cada juego.
Parece sencillo y quizá poco interesante, pero los temas que terminarán por plantearse en el juego llegarán a ser muy personales, y sin duda no nos dejarán indiferentes.

Técnicamente es de factura sencilla, y nos ofrece una experiencia de entre hora y media y dos horas, que recomendaría jugar del tirón, aunque no es necesario.

"The Beginner's Guide" es un juego que trata sobre la empatía, sobre nuestra capacidad para tratar de ponernos en la piel de otra persona, de tratar de comprender algo que en principio no comprendemos, que no compartimos. Es un pequeño viaje que nos hará pensar en qué es la creatividad, y en el propósito de las cosas que hacemos.

Decir más sería arruinar la experiencia, una experiencia que recomendaría a cualquiera que haya intentado crear algo en su vida. No le dejará indiferente.

From the creator of the Stanley Parable comes another great game. It's a pretty short strange narrative experience standing at 2 hours total gameplay time and there's some meta stuff going on but I would say the game succeeded really well at delivering what it intended to do.

Would love to play some other experimental games like that considering I'm a big fan of those.

Playing the minigames the legit way is not recommended though.

《新手指南》是一款第一人称步行模拟游戏。作者 Davey Wreden 同时也是《史丹利的寓言》的制作人。

与《史丹利的寓言》一样,《新手指南》也是个非常规的游戏。这个游戏由一系列按照制作时间顺序排列的游戏组成,这些游戏的制作者是一个叫 Coda 的人。Davey Wreden 向玩家展示这些游戏,并且通过旁白的方式来谈自己对这些游戏的理解,以及随着这些游戏的制作,Coda 的生活状态发生了怎样的变化。

我记得《时空幻境》的作者 Jonathan Blow 在一次采访中说过一段话,大意是游戏是作者与玩家之间的一种交流方式,作者制作游戏的时候将自己的弱点放在游戏中,然后观察玩家的反应,是一件很有意思的事情。《新手指南》里的这些游戏,就是 Coda 与 Davey Wreden 之间的交流。Coda 将自己的处境,自己的困惑,以及自己对此采取的对策都放在了游戏里,通过起源引擎表达了出来。

我觉得如果一个人有志于成为一个用游戏表达自我的开发者的话,那么这个游戏就是一个很好的新手指南。

Не могу... не могу остановиться!
Блуждаю по лабиринтам вновь и вновь, снова открываю одну и ту же дверь, мне удобно видеть каждый раз в этом своё превосходство, в том единственном, что я уже знаю.
И не замечаю ничего вокруг, не замечаю себя, которая кричит и плачет, а я её не слышу...
И продолжаю не замечать, закрывая себя новыми стенами.
Одну за другой закрываю за собой все двери.
Кроме той с рычагом, которую сам себе создал, смысл которой для меня найден.
Мне так одиноко. И я действительно иссякаю.
В голове кричат сейчас тысячи голосов, они разрывают мой разум.
Я не могу так... как это всё прекратить?
Что они хотят? Знаю, чего...
Они хотят услышать, как я попрошу у них прощения.
Потому что все они -- всё то, что не сбылось.
То, что я оставила во мраке.
За мраком.
Потому что я для них и есть та машина, которая могла всё изменить.
Я всё разрушил.
Вот они слёзы, которых не было вчера.
Проклятье.
Для меня это была не игра.
Это зеркало моей души...
Вам не понять меня, пока вы это не почувствуете.
Проклятый фонарь. Оставь меня в покое...

Didn't know much of what to expect getting into this game, but for a walking simulator that's centered around perspective and self-reflection it's exactly something I needed.

Even now as I type a review, at 12:38 in the morning, after having completed the game, I'm at a loss for words. This game is less of a game, and more of an experience, or a journey. It's not going to be for everyone, but I imagine everyone can find something useful as a takeaway from Davey's narrative. I think it comes down to mindset - a willingness to listen, to hear a new perspective on the things that motivates people to do what they love. I'll shamelessly admit I got choked up with emotion, especially at the end as he concluded his narrative and told us what this experience, this part of the journey was all about. I'm thankful to have been gifted this game by the person I consider the most important at this point in my life, it's given me a lot of new thoughts to reflect on and it feels like it's created an opening for me to push forward in my own work where I thought there was no path before. Thank you John, and thank you Davey. This experience means a lot to me and I doubt I'll forget its value anytime soon.

The Beginner's Guide - не просто игра, а долгий и интересный рассказ, который повествует нам создатель The Stanley Parable Дэйви Риден. Он рассказывает нам об играх, которые создал его друг Кода. Эти игры не имеют какой-то конечной цели, они незамысловаты, но при этом они носят в себе что-то необычное, что-то такое, что пытается до нас достучаться. Игры Коды - это отголосок души его создателя.
Повествование Дэйви, которое сопровождает нас в течение всей игры, постепенно переходит от забавной части к глубоким размышлениям. The Beginner's Guide является исповедью Дейви, признанием того, что он натворил, хотя и считал, что он помогает своему другу развиваться в создании игр. А нам остается внимательно и с состраданием слушать это признание.

Несомненно, я настоятельно рекомендую эту игру для прохождения. Поверьте, она того стоит.

Довольно личная история, которая пробегается за 2 часа. Нет, здесь нет вариативности, как в The Stanley Parable, да и не хочу сравнивать с TSP, они немного про разные вещи. Но меня тронуло, и мне стало немного стыдно за самого себя. Наверное, это хорошо.

I had no idea what I was getting into, when playing this game. All I knew was that this is the new game of the creator of The Stanley Parable. That was it. I didn't watch the trailer. I didn't read anything about it. And I recommend you do the same. This was one hell of a ride. And it's not over. I finished it like an hour ago. And I can't stop thinking about it. I know I will think about this for the next days. I guess I have to play it again. Sorry, I can't go into detail without spoilering. So I won't. All I will say is, this is an experience well worth the money. It's an insight in someone's psyche. It's very well narrated. And it probably will let you sitting in front of your PC for minutes, if not longer, after you finished it, thinking about its meaning - as it just did with me.

Thank you, Davey, for exposing yourself like this. I don't think I could ever do that.

The Beginner's Guide - лучшее что случилось с игровой индустрией после игры "Passage" Джейсона Рорера.

Дейви Реден который до этого сделал "The Stanley Parable", в "The Beginner's Guide" превзошел всё, вообще всё и всех. "Путешествие" Дженовы Чена, "Briad" Джона Блоу, "Fez" Фила Фиша - эти игры по сути, являются апогеем мейнстримовых инди игр; все они уступают по "наполнению" игре Дейва.
Казалось что всё, инди разработчики окончательно сдулись в 2012 - году стагнации и гниения всей инди тусовки. Инди игры умерли - да здравствуют инди игры !
"Путеводитель новичка" это попытка внедрить в игру так называемый Лиотаровский "Великий Нарратив" постмодерна. Более про эту игру ничего знать не нужно. Крайне важно не читать полноценных рецензий, мнений или обзоров.
Перед запуском обязательно стоит послушать "4:33" Джона Кейджа которая поможет понять глубинные темы игры, которые каждый игрок будет трактовать по своему. The Beginner's Guide - это "Смерть автора" Барта https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Смерть_автора, только в жанре компьютерной игры.
Лучшая игра 2015 года.

这个游戏是一个精细编排的骗局。

【剧透警告】剧透内容已拉黑……

想了很多,随便谈谈。

第一个要说的,This game is so touching……
煽情效果极好。我被旁白哄得不要不要的,眼泪扑朔朔……

然而一切真的都如旁白所说那么简单吗?
这游戏是一个真实的故事,还是经过精妙编排的虚构沉浸小说?

毕竟,一切结束后,你会惊叹于旁白讲故事的老练(他很清楚玩家需要什么,知道什么时候该响起提示,什么时候闭嘴不言),还有那些巧合的月份(coda的游戏制作时间345678递增,会有这么巧的事吗?他的制作时间越来越长,却又规律得不像话)……但这些都不能证明什么。旁白要讲好故事是因为这是一个Playable Game,要商业化要卖钱的;巧合则有太多可能,不多谈。
唯一可以确定的是,自始至终旁白控制了你的大脑。
这一定是经过精妙计算的结果。游戏的2小时流程里,你所做的不过是从旁白解读这些“Coda出品”的基础上继续替他解读下去。这实在与旁白自述【希望把这些游戏给更多人看,这样说不定就有人能了解coda的本意(抱歉没汉化,字幕大概是这个意思)】的理念相悖……

我们假设,假设coda是存在的,不管他是一个人格还是一个角色,或者某种理念的象征符号。

按旁白所说,他发布这个游戏的目标是和Coda道歉,希望大家帮他解读Coda,希望Coda继续做游戏,以此让自己“感觉好一点”……
可是,只要旁白存在,我们就不免陷入被控制大脑的陷阱;只要被旁白精心修改、按特定顺序安放好的游戏存在,我们就不可能探索coda做游戏的本意;Coda讨厌旁白将他的作品公之于众,最后旁白还是选择用公之于众的方式让大家认识Coda,认识自己……诸多矛盾使得旁白的目标从一开始就是完全不可能的事情——我说开始,是指我们开始玩这款游戏。
我们的所作所为不能满足旁白的任何愿望,我们玩到的成品仅仅是一个精心设计的骗局。这个游戏给你你能行的错觉,实际上你什么也做不了——我们帮不了旁白,就像旁白帮不了Coda。
明知道最后会走进死路,但游戏还是做出来了,也给大家玩到了,真是一场盛大的自欺欺人。

但人们不愿相信事情就这么结束了。人们不相信这个游戏是死的。
所有事情都必须有一个意义,所有游戏都必须有一种解读。人们愿意帮助这个不圆满的悲剧添上几笔自己的解读,这样也能让自己感觉“好一点”。
我认为这才是THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE的高明之处。它利用玩家不满足的心理,获得了热烈的探讨,让一些游戏本身没有、探讨中却有的深度思想能够披在身上,升华了游戏本身。骗局本身不重要,人们怎么看待骗局才重要。在引起玩家反响这方面,我觉得它很伟大。

ただただcodaという人物が、世に広く発表する意思を持たずに作り続けていた特に意味を含んでいないゲームを勝手にガイドしてくれる男とともにプレイし、ガイド役の男の個人的な “このゲームについての解釈” やら、その頃のcodaの様子なんかの話を一方的に聞かされ続けるだけの、ゲームというよりはインタラクティブなFPVゲーム風哲学的芸術作品と言った方が相応しい何か。

 それが 『The Beginner's Guide』

プレイする人によってはどこにもエンターテイメント性を見いだせず、ガイドの男にも全く共感を抱けずゲームを作ったというcodaについても全然興味が湧かないまま90分間を無駄にする可能性もある。 だから万人に薦めることはできない。

正直言って馬鹿な男が、自分のためだけに自らの内側に入り込んでゲームを作り続けるという行為を続ける、自身の理解の範疇を超えた存在に出逢い訳も分からないまま彼の作る作品の持つ個性と魅力に呑まれ、彼の作る彼のためだけに在るゲームを通して自分や他の人の人生にとって意味のある何がしかの答えを見出そう、という建前のもとに一応のクリアと言える到達点のあるゲームへと彼の作ったゲームを改変する等の行為を加えてから、製作者である彼には一切の連絡を入れず許可を取らぬまま勝手に世の中に公開し、その行為への他者からのフィードバックを得ることによって浅ましくも自らの承認欲求を満たせることの喜びに狂ってしまい、自分にとって特別な意味や価値を感じさせてくれるゲームを作ってプレイさせてくれていた交換の聞かない唯一無二の存在であったcodaに愛想を尽かされて、終には縁を切られてしまった、というお話に付き合わされるだけ。

なので、もう起きてしまった出来事を後から思い返してアレコレと考えたりすることをしない人、そういうウジウジした思考が嫌いな人、そもそも他人のそんな話どうでもいい、という人には死ぬほど向かないゲームだと思う。

『The Stanley Parable』や、『The Talos Principle』をプレイして、この世界・宇宙は見方によっては牢獄であり、その中に生かされて知性を獲得し何事にも意味や答えを見出すことを求めてしまうようになった人間は、さしずめ自然の成り行きという名の多様性と可能性の出口の無い迷路に囚われた罪人のようである、なんてことを考えたりするタイプの人には まぁまぁオススメ。 答えのない人生や善・悪について期限も切らずに終わりなく悩み続けるなんて不健全なことはほどほどにしておいて、飯食って酒飲んで眠って忘れることも大切……なんて言わなくても分かってらぁな。

I won't say too much about this game because it's easy to spoil. Just go in blind and enjoy it.


Summary
A metafictional account of Davey Wreden, creator of the Stanley Parable (2013), who takes the player through the games of his old friend, Coda, while giving his commentary and interpretations of them, in order to understand why he makes the bizarre, often melancholic games that he makes, and decipher Coda's personality and inner struggles.

How do you become driven by something other than external validation? How do you walk through life at peace with yourself, with who you are and been? And how do you choose a path to walk on when you don't know why you should? How would one find out why you should when everything doesn't mean anything to you when you do it alone, for yourself only? If it'll bring only misery? How does one justify living life when there's no one to tell you that you are alive? That you are important? That you exist? Do we just rely on hope? Hope that eventually by choosing a path, any path, we will eventually find someone we cherish to do things with? Things that gain importance and value just because they were experienced with someone else other than yourself? Hope that in the end, we will find the meaning in our lives that we so desperately desire?

What does one do when they have lost all hope for their future? What do they cling on to live? How can their belief be restored? How can they recover their trust in the mechanics of the world? That despite all the empirical evidence presented to them, believe in the exception? How do you take, regardless of everything you know as 'everything', the necessary leap of faith that supposedly leads you towards the life you want to live? How does one take a leap of faith that taking a leap of faith will lead you to where you want to be?

How do you live?

Игры — это искусство!

Простите за столь громкий заголовок обзора, но действительно — у нас наличествует проблема: можно ли считать игры искусством? Здесь, конечно, нужно определиться с термином "искусство", но мне также напомнят, что аналогия не аргумент, однако лично я считаю, что компьютерные игры можно ставить наряду с кинематографом, поэзией, живописью хотя бы из-за того, что каждый из данных видов способен передать какую-то определённую историю, погрузив читателя/зрителя/игрока в довольно конкретный (или же абстрактный) выдуманный мир. Ненароком вспоминается игровая серия Myst, которая имела интересную игровую механику — путешествие по мирам посредством обращения к определённого рода книгам. Но давайте ближе к телу.

История, представленная в данном игровом проекте, не слишком уж меня и зацепила, однако я вынужден признать: мне было интересно погрузиться в мир другого человека, который переживал определённый творческий кризис, и почувствовать себя причастным к чему-то действительно важному. Некоторые главы в The Beginner's Guide я бы спокойно вынес в отдельные игры из-за причудливого окружения, но, к сожалению, многие из них остаются довольно сыроватыми в техническом плане.

Вы не поверите, но все эти геометрические формы, головоломки, локации и персонажи — возникает ощущение некоего супрематического пространства и подобное действительно склоняет к размышлениям о том, как игры могут повлиять на человека и родить в его душе танцующую звезду.

Если Вы находите в моих словах дельное, то поддержите разработчика рублём.

Оно действительно того стоит.

Experience it alone. Without interruptions or distractions. But do give it a try without spoiling it before hand because it will show you a lot. It's not really a game, as you'll find out, but that's all I recommend.

Ну что сказать? Даже и не знаю. Полуторачасовой рассказ или экспириенс, если вам угодно, не оставил меня равнодушным. Рыдать я не стал, как некоторые авторы обзоров, но задумался - это уж точно. Задумался о том, какое значение я предаю тому, чему посвятил свою жизнь. О том, доволен ли я плодами своего труда и насколько важно для меня признание других людей.

Большинство из нас, делая что-либо, ждут обратной связи, реакции, похвалы. Это то, что заставляет нас двигаться вперед. Но представьте на минуту, что вы лишили себя возможности делиться своими творениями с внешним миром и вам это попросту не нужно. Что же заставляет вас творить? В чем, если не в признании, вы находите силы продолжать? В The Beginner's Guide автор задает этот вопрос нам и в первую очередь себе. Это история об одиночестве, творческом кризисе, о помощи и осознании того, что пытаясь помочь, можно сделать только хуже. О том, что можно знать человека и однажды понять, что вовсе его не знал. Каждый из нас проведет свои параллели с этой трогательной историей и может что-то поменяет в себе.

В кратце: То чувство, когда покупка в Стиме заставляет задуматься о жизни xD

This game is very meaningful to a lot of people, and I understand that. However, I was not prepared for an experience that was 100% emotionally negative. It was horribly depressing. I wish I had had some warning, someone who told me "This game is not for everyone. If you don't like sad stories with nothing positive or emotionally redeeming in them, don't buy this game." Please realize that when I give this review, I am only trying to give that warning. I can see why it has such good reviews; if you are not deeply affected by sad or depressing stories, you may very well appreciate the very interesting and well made look into this man's work.



Edit: Replies have pointed out some more positive themes I didn't pick up on at the time, mostly from the perspective of the narrator. As such my opinion has changed somewhat. As a bit of a caveat to the original review, I am very deeply affected by tragedy in stories of any kind, so I expect most people would be able to appreciate the experience without getting depressed for several days like I did. Thank you to all the people who've replied, and I hope you (the person reading this) can enjoy this game like them. :)

I have to say, I really, really enjoyed playing through this game. I wish it was longer- but, that being said, it is of such quality and contains such great amounts of content, I found it hard to believe it only lasted about 90 minutes.

I am going to continue talking about the game, but highly recommend you just dive in without reading too much into it.

This game is a set of games made by a single developer, none of which were released. A narrator walks you through small projects, and attempts to explain the creation of them. This is how the story unfolds, by changing emotions portrayed through the atmosphere of the various games you play.

The narration through this is really quite incredible. In fact, everything ties itself together very well into a cohesive story, even though you are in drastically different games throughout your playthrough.

Perhaps a little too well, even. But, I'm going to continue telling myself that it's a true story, regardless.

There is also a very good representation of timelines, as the games improve in quality over time. Overall, everything was just really well done, and very well polished.

I can't remember how much I paid for this game, perhaps I paid full price, perhaps it was through some bundle somewhere. Regardless, it was definitely worth it.

Wow, I can't believe I did not write a review for TBG.

Very few games in my life made an impact of such tremendous scale as TBG.
This is most charming, deep, dark, clever and witty game that tries to answer the questions that I really don't even have guts to ask myself.

Довольно странная игра, которая под конец трогает тебя за душу. Не могу чего-то ещё добавить, так-как мне хочется написать обзор без спойлеров и может быть я сам не понял всю суть данной игры.

Если хотите, вы можете по моему путь ознакомления с этой игрой: сначала купите и пройдите эту игру в одиночку, а потом посмотрите видео, такого человека как Viperense (вообще советую посмотреть его канал):

The Beginners Guide is a first person walking simulator developed by Everything Unlimited LTD for the Source Engine. You play a series of somebody's complete gameography whilst Davey Wreden, creator of The Stanley Parable, reflects on the meaning of those games and how they've personally effected him.

The Beginner's Guide is a truly phenomenal experience. A sly, clever narrative told subtly through non-intrusive means that is at once nerve-wracking and awe inspiring. I felt truly uncomfortable while playing this game, disgusted at both the characters and myself. And yet at the same time, in the midst of a story about failing egos and torn relationships is a touching resonant moral about art and pain that genuinely touched me. It's a character study, although perhaps not about the character you expect, but beyond that, it's a somber, quiet reflection on art and interpretation. The rare videogame with something on its mind that isn't impeded by conflicting gameplay. Every moment is critical and every interaction speaks to the larger whole.

If you were debating checking out this game, you owe it to yourself to play it. Don't look anything up about it, just experience the journey for yourself. Ponder over the themes or ideas presented, consider what they mean to you, what they might mean to other people. You just might discover something along the way.

如果有一天,上帝让我流落荒岛,身边只让带一款游戏,那么我绝对会带上它。这款游戏对我的世界观乃至人生轨迹都有非常大的影响。正是因为它,我才从浑浑噩噩的人生解脱出来,开始了解做游戏,并决定把它作为我这辈子去努力从事的行业。谢谢你,David,你让我找到了理想。盗版通了不知道多少遍了,前来补个票。感谢你所做的一切。你永远是我最喜欢的游戏制作人。
---------------------------------------------
If one day, God let me go to an island, but only to bring a game, then I will definitely bring it. This game has a great impact on my life. It was because of it that I freed myself from my circular life and began to learn how to make games, and decided to make games a dream for me. Thank you, David, you have made me find the ideal. Two years ago, I didn't know how many times I cleared it on that account. Thank you for all you have done. You are always my favorite game producer.

In all seriousness, this game, to me, is a masterpiece, and one of my favorite games of all time.

This game has made me think about what it means to be a creator, to have your work shared with others, and how we can never truly understand the people around us, no matter how much we may try.

An incredible, but very sad and somber game. A must play.
As always, best experienced blind.

当你打开任何一款游戏你便走入了这款游戏背后之人的内心世界,通过讲述Coda——我想是作者为自己的创造力所制造的第二人格——在游戏制作中所走过的心路历程,作者传递了自己或灵感迸发,或封闭自己,或自言自语,或拒绝交流的复杂感情。就是这个过程,让作者的每一个点子都很特别,让每次他和玩家的共同冒险都显得异彩纷呈。剑之最高境界在于无形,游戏之最高境界是在不可玩(unplayable)中也能让玩家感受到如同宇宙一般的深邃思想。

Получила в подарок.
Игра очень сильная, я ревела. Навела на огромное количество мыслей, раскрыла личные проблемы, и просто, вот золотая цитата моего друга, которая сформировала все чувства по этому поводу:
"Я в этой игре плакал несколько раз, даже когда переигрывал
И даже не знаешь отчего больше, от того, что приходится смотреть на вещи, которые ты так усердно игнорировал или же, что то, что тебя гложило образовалось в понятную тебе форму: компьютерную игру коридорного типа
И создается иллюзия, что кто-то тебя понял
Хотя на самом деле ты понял сам себя"
Я не могу ее советовать, у меня просто нет для этого сил, потому что лично меня игра вернула в мою тюрьму и без помощи друга, который посоветовал ее и позже принял удар на себя, я бы не выбралась снова. Поэтому, я могу только благодарить друга, за то, что посоветовал ее мне, и разработчика, за то, что решился выложить ее.
Если у вас есть силы для того, чтобы позже разгребать отклик того, кому вы ее посоветуете, то... наверное.. было бы здорово предложить кому-нибудь сыграть в это.
Я ее не рекомендую, ее нельзя просто взять и порекомендовать. Я просто говорю, что для меня это стало чем-то важным. Хоть игра скорее и вызвала больше отрицательные чувства, чем положительные, она все же стоит внимания и, если вы любите сильные, жизненные истории, я думаю вам стоить услышать эту историю, хотя найти себя в ней, никому не посоветую, потому что потом вам с этим жить.
И отдельно мне хотелось сказать кое-что.
Когда я только начала и прошла несколько уровней, я уже была под сильным впечатлением. Я посмеялась и над тем, как были недоработаны игры в начале и удивилась тому, какие классные мысли продвигал через них Кода.
Дэйви, если бы не ты, я бы не увидела всего этого, и это невероятно здорово.

A game about games and their authors.
Do you think that you can tell more about a game based on its author?
Should you evaluate a game on its own and disregard the author; taking the "author is dead" approach?

Is there a "correct" way of experiencing a game?

Those are the questions one has after playing The Beginner's Guide.
One recommendation from me, play this game at least two times.

If you are a creator of things, this is a game you simply can't miss. I honestly can't say much more about it than that or it'd ruin it.

The Beginner's Guide is a short walking simulator by the creator of The Stanley Parable. I didn't know much about it going into it, and I think not completely knowing what to expect adds to the experience, so I'll try to stick with just the information that will help decide whether the game is right for you.

Don't expect The Stanley Parable when you play this. There are a few similarities to The Stanley Parable, but overall it's a really different experience. The Beginner's Guide isn't funny and doesn't involve any story-changing choices. It's almost more like an interactive movie than a game. It also isn't very long. There's only one path and it took me not quite two hours to complete.

The Beginner's Guide gave me a lot to think about. It's a comment about art, both creating it and consuming it, and there were a number of different layers to the commentary and the story that's being told. There's also a lot of ambiguity, and I think that ambiguity can at times be confusing, but I think it also adds to the overall tone and atmosphere of the game.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Beginner's Guide. It wasn't very long and I'm not really sure you can even call it a game, but I enjoyed my experience with it. I definitely don't think it's for everyone, but I got a lot out of it. 9/10

I don't think I've been so emotional over a game in a very long time.

This is one of those games that you wish you could forget everything you know about it and just play the game all over again to experience its epicness. This game shows you the life of the developer's old missing friend and takes you in a journey to experience all the emotions that they dev and the friend have. it has some puzzles but they arent that hard. the game is quite short but that's what you will get for its price. overall i'd say this is one of the best games out there!

I don't think I've ever played a game that has made me regret playing it and feel absolutely awful for doing so while also being an experience that I feel as though I didn't know I needed.

Do I recommend people play this game? Yeah.
But, I also think that ignorance is bliss, and that this game has the power to change your current outlook on a number of things. How you interact with or create art, how you interact with others, how you view yourself. This game feels like a trap; that despite every good thing I've heard about it that made me so excited to play it were turned against me. I shouldn't have played this game. And, if that's the intended feeling I was supposed to get or not doesn't matter.

I went into this knowing about the ending, about the narrator, and about Coda but despite this, I found that I really didn't get it from all the videos I watched prior. I was wrong. I was, am, and will likely continue to be the biggest problem this game has for me. And, while maybe not to the extent to which the game explores it, I have been the problem of this game to others.

There is no solace, there is no solution, and that might be the most painful part about this game. Because, I don't see how it's wrong, I just know now that it is, and that it's hurting the people I care about, and that I probably wont be able to stop myself.

I don't feel comfortable recommending this game, I can't stop you from playing but take my review as a warning. You can't go back after you've started.

This game made me take a good hard look at myself and made me contemplate all my friendships. I won't say anything about the game, but if you are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ person, this game will let you know. As far as walking sims go, this is one of the best.

10/10 Would never play again but had a large impact on my outlook on life

I played this game way back in 2016 but never thought to leave a review. But it's a story that's stuck with me all these years. Even now, I'm still reminded of and moved by this game from time to time.

The Beginner's Guide è un gioco?
Probabilmente no.
Probabilmente anche chissenefrega.
E' una delle esperienze più intime, interessanti e struggenti di cui io abbia mai goduto.
Un capolavoro di onestà e liberazione intellettuale.
Posso solo dire: "grazie, Davey Wreden, per esserti 'condiviso' in questo modo così speciale".
Davvero.

Also found this game after Pirate Software talked about it. I am in a rut and have no creativity at the moment and what I got out of this experience is that I should do things I like because I like them, not because I feel this is the "proper" thing people will like. Hopefully in time I can take more steps in creating things for me and my own enjoyment.

Analysis (Please note: just my interpretation):

There are many ways you can process this came, so after going through it twice this is my opinion. Firstly I think this is a wonderful telling of Davey's experience with enjoying content and what comes along with it when consuming content that people make/share with people. This can be applied to any art (regardless of media) we consume these days.

But what happens if the message doesn't align? What happens if the person does not draw the conclusion the creator is trying to make?
The game follows Davey's interpretations of Coda's 'solutions' given to him throughout his games which is not clear what Coda is trying to convey to Davey which he in turn misinterprets as a cry for help as Davey views Coda's work through his own lens and thought process. We experience the agitation and stress Davey experiences from misinterpreting Coda's works until the message is made clear in plainer writing.

The main conclusion drawn is that by failing to recognise that this game is just a game with no inherent meaning Davey feels he has failed Coda in more ways than one as he comes to the conclusion that ‘perhaps he just enjoys making prisons.’ and that there is no deeper meaning to it.

The Creator vs The Consumer:
Coda believes as the creator he does not owe a meaning or a solution to his work, they are just things that may or may not have meaning or a different meaning to him, they simply exist because they exist. Doing things solely for your consumers will eventually wear you down leaving you frustrated with what they think it is supposed to be.

As creators we want to make something that means something to us, no matter how big or small it is, or sometimes we just want to make something because we want to make something, explore an idea without any deeper meaning tied to the object.

Davey believes that creators put a piece of themselves into their work, something that means something, something that tells you about who they are, what they are going through and wishes to help his friend in what he feels is his suffering.

As a consumer we want to feel close to those that create things we enjoy, we seek how they feel about things from what they give us to consume, a reflection on messages and things that are meaningful to them. We wish to /know/. We want the journey to have a conclusion, the odd fitting things to have relevance or significance, and when consuming something that seems personal, and develops agitation without context may feel that this is how the creator feels as we want to make a human connection to that person.

The Fine Line of Feedback:
This really made me think of a short film by Tracey Moffatt and Gary Hillberg called Artist (1999) (you can find a version of this on Vimeo, it’s worth a watch) which focuses on the creation of art, people then viewing their work and placing their opinion on it leading to the artists to destroy or tear down their work in frustration. As shown in the short film, good feedback or bad feedback can impact a person and how they feel about their work as a whole leading to them perhaps not wanting to do it any more either.

Trudno zdefiniować The Beginner`s Guide. Nie jest to gra nawet w takim pojęciu jak Gone Home czy Her Story. Nie przypomina w niczym także Stanley Parable. Można go bardziej przyrównać do spaceru w galerii sztuki przez multimedialną wystawę lub interaktywnego filmu dokumentalnego.

Grając myślałem właśnie o tym, że filmowiec nakręciłby o swojej pracy film, malarz namalował obraz, a twórca gier zrobiłby The Beginner`s Guide.

Jest to jednocześnie opowieść o tym, że twórca zawsze pozostaje twórcą (artysta - artystą; nie wiem które określenie lepsze). Bez względu na to co robi zmaga się z materią (nawet mieszając bigos - pamiętacie Flotsam w Wieśku 2?), oceną innych, oceną własną. Tak więc jest to też opowieść o możliwościach i relacjach. W grach, bardziej niż w innej sztuce, specyficznych. Umożliwiających nawet zmianę dzieła w stopniu minimalnym lub całkowitym (mody). A do tego często odbiorcy traktują grę niemal jak swoją własność, nie tylko krytkując twórcę, ale żądając od niego zmian. Ale to tylko część tej historii.

Oczywiście to tylko moja interpretacja.

Kilka razy uśmiechnąłem się, dowiedziałem się kilku rzeczy, troszkę mnie przygnębiło, ale i też spojrzałem na kilka spraw z innej perspektywy.

Nie jest to dzieło wybitne, przełomowe, odkrywcze. Jest ciekawe, inspirujące, dające do myślenia. Jeśli gry są dla Ciebie czymś więcej - warto sprawdzić The Beginner's Guide,

Technikalia: bardzo krótka 2h, grafika gorsza niż w Stanley Parable.

あのStanley parableの作者が作ったちょっと変わった作品
このゲームの作者が出会った"Coda"という人物との物語

ある時ゲームを発表せずに短い内容のゲームを次々と作る"Coda"
それに出会ったこのゲームの作者がその作品を年を追って共感していく

自分はこう感じました
「その人が作った作品は他の人には共感を得られないかもしれないが
その人の中ではその作品を最高のものだと感じる人もいる
また、他人がその作品を見て意味の分からない、または違う取り方をしてしまう
そう感じるのはいいが、それは人によってそれぞれ違うのだと分かってほしい」

人によって感想が全然違います。他の人のレビューも合わせて見ると感じ方が違います
僕が書いたこの事も他の人によってはあまり共感は得られないかもしれません

ゲームとして見るのではなくある一人のクリエイターの人物の半生として見るのがいいかも

日本語化に対応、プレイ時間は短いですがそれ以上に考えさせられる作品でした。

Сразу скажу, это не игра, это история о разработчике игр в которой можно гулять. История сильная, которая никого не оставит равнодушным. Тем не менее, если вы собираетесь повыбивать ачивки, пофармить карточки - в "The Beginner's Guide" всего такого нет. Нет в ней и того юмора и задорности, что было в предыдущем творении Дэви Вредена "The Stanley Parable". Зато есть душевный и эмоциональный рассказ и атмосферность.

Сначала кажется, что это игра о каком-то чудаке. Странный тип, неудачник, горе-творец. По привычке мы встаем на сторону рассказчика. Он расслаблен, мы смотрим его глазами, он наверняка знает как мы поступим. Он хороший чувак.
А потом игра заканчивается.

The Beginner's Guide - это игра о человеке, который очень (слишком?) много думает. А значит, о ком угодно.
Он думает о своем друге, а на самом деле о себе. Достраивает за других мысли и идеи, решает, что знает как лучше, пытается всему придать смысл. А если видит тупик, но не видит решения (хотя может оно и есть), то исхитряется, использует читы, только бы дойти до конца. В конце должен быть ответ. Ответа нет. Придумаем ответ. Подстроим его так, чтоб правдоподобно было. Поверим в подстроенный ответ. Уличим себя в обмане. Устыдимся.
Это игра не для получения удовольствия. Она - хороший пинок для тех, кто загоняется.

I nominated this for the "Defies Description" Steam award because it is so bizarre and unique. It's not long but it's crypic approach to environmental storytelling is striking. The narration is a key component of the game but fortunately it is well executed. Not just easy to recommend, but one of my favorite games from the last few years.

很多人可能不太懂这个标题的具体意思:The Beginner's Guide,这是一部关于什么的初学者指南?
走过整个流程之后,我觉得标题可以补几个词:
The Beginner's Guide for Game Developers
是的,这是写给电子游戏开发者以及计划成为游戏开发者的人的指南

作为一个准游戏开发者,下面是我对这部游戏的介绍和一点感受

=================================

游戏中涉及到两个人物:
Davey Wrenden,故事的讲述人,史丹利寓言的开发者
Coda,Wrenden的一个朋友,一个奇怪的游戏开发者

The Beginner's Guide(以下简称“TBG”)的主要内容就是Wrenden向你展示、讲述并讨论Coda所制作的游戏以及Coda这个人,你在TBG中的主要游戏体验就是玩Coda的作品
Coda是一个“孤独”的开发者,他似乎在刻意地孤立自己——他从不向别人展示自己的游戏、也不把自己的游戏发布到网上,他从08年开始开发游戏,而在11年突然停止了游戏开发活动,从此从Wrenden眼前消失
而Wrenden则希望Coda与玩家、与别的开发者交流自己的想法——Wrenden觉得这样才可以完善自己的作品,让自己能不断地创作
Wrenden很喜欢Coda的游戏,于是就将Coda的游戏展示给很多人(TBG就是他在向玩家展示Coda作品的过程),这些人则表示他们也很喜欢Coda的游戏
但是到底谁才是对的?
在游戏中你将可以看到一个“答案”

=========================
以下剧透
=========================
我认为,Wreden和Coda分别代表游戏开发者们眼前的两条道路:
Wreden与大众交流互动,融汇各种各样的思想
Coda将自己束在高塔上,与世隔绝,他不希望别人改变他的想法或他的作品

两种人无疑都是正确的,但Wreden和很多人主观地认为Coda是错的,而急于干涉Coda的世界

其实开发者内心是矛盾的,一方面想做自己的独一无二的游戏
一方面又想把自己的成果展示给玩家,但玩家不一定会懂
所以Coda在舞台的那个场景中将自己锁在幕后,在Tower那个场景中设置那些难到没道理的解谜环节

在Coda的最后一个游戏中,Coda向Wreden和玩家展现了一个世界——头上是浩瀚的宇宙,脚下是无尽的迷宫。就如Wreden所说,这个场景让人意识到,我们是多么的渺小,就算我们解开了脚下那错综复杂的迷宫,又能怎样?

Coda说了,"You are not the problem for me to solve.",所以,管他呢,开心就好

很多人在讨论Coda是否真的存在,Coda是不是在暗指Wreden本人

这不重要,并不重要

=========================
剧透结束
=========================

想作游戏开发方面的人可以看看这个

Вопросов в том числе и для самокопания.

I think this is one of the few games that actually struck me at a really deep emotional level.
It's hard to describe this game, and its best to experience it for yourself.
I'm nominating this game for the "I'M NOT CRYING, THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY EYE" award.

I've never been so profoundly affected by a game before. It touched on ideas that are very close to my heart, and used layers of dramatic irony in a way that I've never really seen in game writing before. I burst into tears at one point, and I've found myself thinking about the game for a long time after I stopped playing, turning its ideas over in my head.

Bevor ich auf meine Gedanken eingehe: Ich kann das Spiel jedem empfehlen! Jedoch sollte man auf jeden Fall offen sein, für eine etwas andere Erfahrung und sich darauf einlassen und sich wirklich ca. 90 Minuten Zeit nehmen - in Ruhe.

Ich versuche nun, meine Gedanken zu erfassen, jedoch möglichst ohne Spoiler.

Ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass ich das Spiel gerade erst vor ein paar Minuten beendet habe. Ich bin nachdenklich wie eigentlich noch nie zuvor. Ich versuche zu verarbeiten was ich soeben erlebt habe. Ich bin in einem Kreislauf aus Selbstkritik, Selbstreflexion, Gesellschaftskritik und analysiere nachträglich viele Taten und Menschen aus meinem Leben. Ich suche nach der Quintessenz des Spiels, versuche jedoch gleichzeitig damit zu leben, dass das Spiel ggf. keine endgültige Lösung oder Aussage hat - oder vielleicht doch? Selbst beim Schreiben dieses Textes reflektiert das gerade erlebte einen starken Zwiespalt in mir, zwischen was darf ich sagen, was soll ich sagen oder gar was muss ich sagen, um mit mir selbst im Reinen zu sein. Ich versuche mich dabei nicht in Gedanken zu verlieren und sage: Wer offen gegenüber neuen Erfahrungen ist, MUSS das Spiel erleben. Man muss jedoch wirklich darauf achten, dass man Ruhe hat und etwas Zeit mitbringt und vor allem auch Lust auf etwas Neues und Außergewöhnliches hat. Ich habe dieses Spiel schon sehr sehr lange in meiner Bibliothek und muss sagen - heute war ein wirklich guter Tag dafür - an sehr vielen anderen hätte ich das Spiel vermutlich innerhalb von wenigen Minuten einfach beendet. Und dementsprechend hat es mich jetzt gepackt und behält mich auch nach dem Beenden vermutlich noch einige Zeit in seinem Bann!

The Beginner’s Guide is less of a traditional "game" and more of an interactive TED talk. Like most TED talks, it’s a little too shallow, a little too self-serious, and a little too convinced of its own profound meaning. I know that a lot of reviewers here were very affected by the game; they were deeply moved, they cried, it made them really reflective. I’m honestly glad that they were so touched by it, but I just can’t see what they saw. I felt like the whole thing was a bit too obvious and telegraphed. The message is too literal for it to be truly artful, so it just winds up being kind of uninteresting. The game is so direct and literal with its meaning that it almost comes right out and tells you how to feel. There's no ambiguity or real room for interpretation. I mean, the "games" that you play couldn't have been more obvious and on the nose. It just falls flat.

There’s the core of a good idea here…this is definitely a very clever way to tell a short story. It’s just that the content isn’t especially compelling. I'd be tempted to say that you should try it for yourself and see what you think - it's only an hour and a half long, after all - but when it costs ten bucks, I just can't recommend this. I don't even think it's worth getting on sale. If you get it in a bundle or something, sure, give it a shot. At the end of the day, there are a lot of people on here who really enjoyed this game and were affected by it, so you might wind up being one of them. But if you're on the fence about shelling out your money and you already suspect that the game might be sort of boring and pretentious, I think it's valuable to hear from someone who wasn't impressed.

Rank: Can not be ranked.
Recommendation(s): Seriously ask yourself, are you ready for this?
Major Theme: Intangible, only humanly possible thoughts.
Bought at Price: Steam sale

This isn’t something I thought I’d end up “playing” so soon, let alone write a review about. It isn’t a game. Games are closely linked to game theory. Someone looses, someone gains. Can we all gain? Sure, but it really hasn’t asked or answered, what if there was only yourself to play the game with?

This “game”, rather title, or art work, is not worth it. It’s not worth the $20 or the $10 or whatever it is currently listed at. Being a one in a life time experience, there’s no price tag to be placed on it.

Sure, someone, or a group of people had to come together, piece all the parts together, and that work should justify being paid. But pause for a second; is everything able to be placed under the cover of “monetary value”? Are personal experiences able to be placed under that very same cover? Is that a thing only humans are able to do? Distance and distinguish from “want”, “need”, and a completely different category that you can’t label?

I didn’t want to play this “game”. I’ll be honest. It was cheap because of a sale, it had some relation to the Stanley Parable, and it runs under the Source Engine. So it ticked all the right boxes, but I didn’t really “need” to “play” this “game”. I didn’t really “want” to “play” it either. It just so happened that I looked at in my list of games, and thought “hey, let’s play this game. I need to kill some time anyways”. Little did I know that I’d probably spend the rest of my life tinkering about with its ideas.

I wouldn’t be inclined to mention this “game” to others. Heck, even if I did, I couldn’t be in the same room as them. This is an experience you have to see for yourself and by yourself only. You might have looked at the “gameplay” on YouTube to see if paying money for this game is worth it. Simply put, you should come to your own conclusions while “playing” this title. In the next few sentences, I would usually be inclined to talk about the key ideas of the title or game. With this, I couldn’t. It would wreck it. Gameplay is not even a word I’d see myself using in this review.

That being said, you should probably talk to a psychiatrist before and/or after “playing” this “game”. If you would be unable to distance yourself enough, I think it could damage you. This title is dark, really dark. I am being quite serious. This is not a joke, or a pun on my name. You should prepare yourself, or know that you would be able to distance yourself from what you will see, and hear from the narrator.

While I’d recommend that any person could play Stanley’s Parable, you have to be a select few to “play” this title.

In the Stanley Parable, you could walk around, “play” and be done. You would completely miss the whole meaning of the game, the actual content to the game and still be ok. (hint: it's about a view on modern games). Sure, what you see on the screen is a game, or something worth paying money for, but that is not why you should be there. There would be a lot of things I’d place in this review (like my many other popular ones), but I simply can’t. It just wouldn’t do the title justice. Perhaps you have finally picked up on that point. You shouldn’t be reading the reviews, just go ahead and try it.

What you will leave with after tinkering about in this title are the many questions left unanswered. One being, is the author of this title actually “Coda”, the person who makes the parts in the game? Why did it take this long to package this all together? Where is “Coda” now? What’s with the three dots? And… I should probably stop there. There’s a lot I’d be willing to talk about, but not before you sit down and “play” the “game” by yourself.

I will leave this review with this question: What does self actualization even mean, and what is it worth?

В первой игре "Stanley Parable" этот автор продал игрокам по сути чистую идею при явно низкой технической составляющей, и как ни странно, это сработало. Если бы не голос диктора, игра превратилась бы в симулятор ходьбы на паре локаций, лишенных контента, но голос изменил всё. В "Beginner's Guide" автор сделал это снова - ужасные уровни, отсутствие нормальных персонажей, механик, но присутствие повествователя делает из всего этого настоящее произведение. То есть автор нарыл кое-что очень важное, и тут внимание: хорошая история оказалась важней, чем убогая техническая составляющая. То есть оба этих творения - это больше аудиокниги, чем игры, но они оказались чертовски хороши, потому что в них были оригинальные концепции, которых нет больше нигде. Но не думаю, что у автора вышло бы и в третий раз продать пустые локации с диктором, может поэтому он и не пытался.

При том, что я разгадал фокус, "Гайд" все равно хорош. И вот почему - где-то 40 минут после прохождения я пребывал в настоящей убежденности, что рассказанная история реальна, и Кода действительно существует. А значит - браво, автору удалось повлиять на меня, заставить ему поверить. Любое произведение пытается сделать именно это, но в других ты все равно знаешь, что всё понарошку, а тут я реально поверил. Мне могло бы даже стать стыдно за это, если бы это не было таинством искусства. Многие может и до сих пор верят.
Кроме того история совершенно необычна тем, что исследует непривычную нам область: в то время как другие игры лезут в гигантизм, в войны выдуманных цивилизаций, эта погружается в мир одного единственного человека. И он оказывается гораздо богаче. Некоторые сцены там по-настоящему пугают - не то чтобы они были страшны сами по себе, это вообще не хоррор, но они страшны потому, что якобы есть человек, живший всем этим.

Далее со спойлерами для тех, кто уже прошел.
Итак, почему Кода нереален? Весь сюжет истории отталкивается от той отправной точки, что он был закомплексованным одиноким человеком с психическими отклонениями, который ни с кем не общался и годами хиковал за компом. Но при этом у него БЫЛ друг (автор), они познакомились в Сакраменто на конвенте, ходили друг к другу в гости. В играх Коды местами есть озвучка женским голосом - ведь ему бы понадобилось общаться с людьми, чтобы ее получить, верно? Его игры наполнены всевозможными посылами, но он никому их не показывал, хотя нет, все-таки показывал другу, причем ко всем играм давал открытый код (без чего не удалось бы составить из них этот проект) и даже свое недовольство распространением игр он выразил через игру с открытым кодом. Как только об этом задумываешься, всё становится понятно. Ну и кроме того взять и опубликовать игры автора без его разрешения и зарабатывать на этом - это подсудное дело. Да еще и сделать это, чтобы как раз за распространение извиниться, - ну вы поняли. Я собственно думал, что Кода в этой истории умрет (это решило бы вопрос прав), и удивился, что к этому не пришло.
И еще вот что интересно. Есть такое понятие "метапроза" - процесс создания рассказа является содержанием этого рассказа. Здесь всё на порядок круче: прохождение игр является содержанием игры, в которой автор рассказывает историю о процессе создания игр другим автором, который создавал послания самому себе, хотя на самом деле первому автору, хотя на самом деле тебе. Это настолько глубокий мысленный фрактал, что он похож на столкновение двух черных дыр (хотя вы не поймете эту аллегорию).

Ну и один минус назову. В русской локализации сделали что-то не то: персонажи постоянно говорят о себе в женском роде, хотя причин для этого немного - пару раз появляются женские образы, и это всё. Очевидно, что в английском оригинале диалоги персонажей происходят в нейтральном роде, а у нас нужно было сделать выбор, и сделали его естественно неправильно.

Haven't felt such satisfaction with a game in a very long time. It's left me thinking about it constantly, all day, every day since I finished it; and it's a lovely, rare thing to feel. It's difficult to say much about it specifically without spoiling it, since it's such a delicately and intricately crafted game. But understanding the reasons why it's difficult not to spoil is so satisfying at the end should be enough to pick it up and play! Brilliant, fantastic game.

You go into the game at the beginning, expecting a sloppy collection of half-finished games from the initial narration you're given, and wonder if it's going to be worth the time you put into it.

It most definitely is.

Enjoy the feels trip.

类型:互动电影
(差点就因为不喜欢史丹利的寓言而错过了这部佳作。。。)

这部作品有一个主线,虽然对这主线并不很感兴趣但还是简单描述一下:
一开始,旁白Davey站在一个朋友的立场,介绍一名喜欢开发游戏的名为Coda的作者从2008年开始做出来的所有游戏。
旁白娓娓道来,一边让玩家自己体验Coda的游戏,一边解说着Coda令他惊艳的游戏设计理念,并交代这些游戏的背景——它们被Coda创作出来,却没有一部被发表面世。越往后,Davey认为从游戏中越明显可以窥见Coda的自闭、孤独、惧怕失去灵感的焦虑。但实际上,Coda认为Davey一直在拿自己的游戏做一些哗众取宠的事情,擅自给它们加上结尾,擅自改动一些看似“无意义”的流程,擅自加上解说,擅自将这些游戏拿出去展示吹嘘以获得被赞叹的满足感:“And the people who played them, they treated me like I was important! I felt good about myself. Finally." 厌恶Davey的Coda不再提供充满灵性的游戏,他觉得Davey只是将他当成一台机器看待。
Davey和Coda,一个是热爱并沉湎游戏创作的人格,一个是有巨大虚荣心的人格,他们的交战,使这部the beginner's guide诞生。

本作真正令我感兴趣的,还是前半段Coda的小游戏作品!
游戏最后一截变成Davey和Coda的扯皮拉筋内心戏,对我来说语言类的东西很没意思,难提兴致,反观前半段,介绍了一名游戏创作新手各种充满灵动想法的小作品,趣味十足。也许这些小作品很劣质,充满着各种不合理、粗糙、缺乏“游戏性”的缺点,但是它们短小的体量中蕴含了许多大胆的创意,像原石一样虽其貌不扬但内里宝贵。

想起在入steam坑之前,玩过许多游戏制作者在网上发布的免费游戏,经常能获得眼前一亮的新鲜感。反而是许多大作,机制、故事老套,一样的王八刷个油漆就当新玩意卖。如果不是因为库里面游戏还没有玩完,也许我还是会更喜欢那些把做游戏当做一项分享快乐事情的制作者的作品(强行找理由^.^

I thought this was another generic game explaining depression on the most surface level observation but I was not prepared for the twist that prooved me wrong. I think this is the only media that made me cry. It also led me to not being able to sleep that night.

对于买过《史丹利的寓言》,尚未买这部作品的人们,我想说的只有一句话,买!



以下内容涉及剧透…

《新手指南》与《史丹利的寓言》是完全不同的。当我第一次知道这部作品的时候,我认为这只是一部单纯的教你制作游戏的指南类游戏,但是实际上它讲述了一个故事。
在我看来,这个故事是这样的。
与Coda的认识使得Davey发现了自己的意义,然而这个意义并不是由于两个人交往的本身而带来的,也不是因为Davey可以从Coda的游戏里获得的幸福感,而是因为通过将这些游戏披露给外人,并自以为是的认为Coda有封闭自我的倾向,来帮助他,获得自我满足。
我不是一个游戏创造者,我也许不能懂得Coda的想法,但是他的游戏是非常有意思的,并且在那间充满创意的房间里,大部分的点子都极具创意。事实上,我认为游戏的意义可以是仅供消遣,也可以是创造者赋予它一个意义(就像这个游戏,或者史丹利),甚至它只是创作者用以寄托自己的理念的东西。我们可以对游戏赋予不同的理解,但是却不能否认作者本身的意志。但是很遗憾,我们看到,Davey入侵了Coda的世界,破坏了这个世界,给它们加上了自己的意义,再公布出去。
说实话,游戏进行到这里,我产生了极大的共鸣。就从我本人来说,我一直都觉得我是一个需要“别人”来活着的人,我想要因为我,给别的事情带去所谓的“意义”。我自豪于我爱的人们的成就,他们的成功甚至让我有想要炫耀的冲动,我自说自话的给他们创造剧本,但是事实上呢?我不得不承认,一定比我想的要简单得多。
最后的最后,后记那里,说实话我是没有想到会再看到那根激光的,我在那道光前面驻足了很久,我想起来我第一次见到它的时候,它带我见到了广阔无垠的星空;这一次,我知道它也会让我看到如此美好的场景,只是我不会忘记了,一开始的那个游戏,那根激光的存在,是为了让我用身体挡住,牺牲自己才能拯救别人的。
所以也许只有“我”离开你,Coda,我们才能彼此获得自己想要的东西吧。

Писатели постоянно пишут о писателях. Художники рисуют автопортреты. Кинематографисты реже, но снимают ленты о кинематографистах. А можете вы припомнить игру про дизайнера игр? Ладно, Game Dev Tycoon, но он не копает глубоко.
С игрой, вплотную исследующей вопрос: "Что значит делать игры", я столкнулся впервые.
Игры - род искусства, требующий от воспринимающей стороны, от игрока, явного и подчас сложного участия. Поэтому дизайнеру игр нужно постоянно думать об игроках. "Чего хотят разные игроки?" "Как поведут себя игроки?" "Что подумают и почувствуют игроки?"
Работая дизайнером игр, ощущаю, как от года к году множатся во мне мысли об игроках. Как сознание моё перестраивается, чтобы лучше воспринимать "внешние" голоса. Как эти голоса дробятся, как я учусь угадывать тонкие их интонации и каждому голосу отвечать на свой подходящий манер.
Но насколько эти "игроки" в моей голове - мои собственные домыслы? И насколько мне следует слушать их и подстраиваться под них, а насколько - идти за "чутьём", за первоначальным и главным голосом, из-за которого, собственно, весь сыр-бор и затевался? Насколько возможно сотрудничество в этой пёстрой компании?
Эти, а может и другие мысли о взаимодействии творца и публики, дающего и принимающего могут посетить вас, если вы пройдёте "Руководство для начинающих".

I... don't know what to say... There isn't much I can even say without spoiling the game... No, it's not a game. It's an experience... A one-way ticket for a ride straight through a person's mind... But what if the mind you're looking at is not the one you think you are looking at? What if the images you see are not the important part? What if the games you play are showing you more than the games? What if 42? What if you weren't meant to play The Beginner's Guide?

My mind is blown...

Note: This is not in any way a sequel to Stanley Parable, it does not even have much in common besides the author... However, I think that if you liked SP, there is no decision to be made about buying this.

I can't particularly say much in a review without spoilers, so here's some non spoilery info.

This game is not very long - any time I play through it, it takes 30-40 minutes. There's not much in the way of gameplay.

And yet, it is a very emotional experience that strikes right at the heart of anyone who's been a creator, known artists, or otherwise struggled with their sense of self-identity and being judged by others. The ending is haunting. Play it.

Одна из самых умных и уникальных историй, рассказанных в виде компьютерной игры. А возможно и самая-самая. The Beginner's Guide (TBG) показывает своим примером, что игры могут расширить границы повествования. История данной игры может быть рассказана только в таком вот виде. В виде игры-бродилки на Source. Другая форма для неё ПРОСТО НЕПРИМЕНИМА.

А ещё в этой игре просто невероятная режиссерская работа. Вы сами удивитесь тому, сколько мелких деталей и интересных мизансцен вложил автор в свое творение.

The core conceit of "The Beginner's Guide" is that it is creator Davey Wreden sharing a collection of small hobby game projects from an old friend, known as Coda, who Davey had lost contact with. Davey reviews their relationship as you explore Coda's games with Davey's guidance. You and Davey try to learn more about Coda from these games that Coda had made. But you may end up learning much more about Davey and yourself in the process.

While many might not consider "The Beginner's Guide" to be "game" enough and derisively call it a "walking simulator", it is a story that is told best in the medium of games. This could not be a movie. This could not be a book. It requires your participation. Your probing these games back-to-back makes you invested in understanding Coda, what their relationship with Davey was like, and what led to the end of their friendship. But the most important question is this: Is it even possible to learn who a person is through the games they make, or does your interpretation say a lot more about yourself than the person who made it?

One of my favourite game of all time.
If you look at the time I've played this (which is technically inaccurate since my first playthrough was on a pirated version, I'm sorry :c) and think that 2 hours is not worth 9€, you're thinking about it in the wrong way. In these few hours, I have felt more emotion than in, say, playing Rocket League for over 700 hours.
I cried after completing this game for the first time. I'm not saying you will, too. But you should still give this game a chance, as it is not only extremely emotional, but also very expressive and meaningful.
It is probably the best example I know for video games as an art form.

No soy esa persona que hace reseñas de absolutamente todos los juegos que instala, pero The Beginner's Guide me llama a hacerlo y ♥♥♥ todo derecho. Además, tiene pocas reseñas en español que realmente den algo de luz en si comprarlo o no. Yo les voy a dar mi reflexión y mi experiencia ♥♥♥ este juego:

Quiero empezar diciendo que cuando empecemos este juego, no estaremos jugando, ni tampoco estaremos en un juego, ni seremos jugadores. Este juego no es un juego. Si tuviera que describirlo, me hace acordar al arte de instalación donde nosotros somos espectadores y perceptores. Entonces ¿por qué me interesa comprarme este juego? (llamémoslo así por el bien del lenguaje):

Metiéndonos un poco en 'qué es' The Beginner's Guide: empezaremos siendo espectadores, de hecho, oyentes, solo oíremos la voz de Davey Wreden, el narrador que nos acompaña y el creador de este juego (y de Stanley Parable, si es por eso por lo que venís, lo mencionaré más adelante). Él nos contará de Coda, un amigo suyo desarrollador de videojuegos que conoció años atrás. Coda es una persona sin la inspiración suficiente para terminar sus proyectos, y es por eso que tendremos a nuestra disposición un montón de 'pequeños' juegos donde Davey nos hablará de este mini-juego y de su perspectiva sobre lo que realmente quiso hacer Coda.
-> ¿Es Coda una persona real? En realidad no lo sabemos. Entendemos que sí pero no tendríamos forma de confirmarlo.

Lo que hace a The Beginner's Guide tan especial es la situación en la que nos pone en cada mini-juego. En un principio somos simplemente desconocidos de Davey escuchándolo contarnos sobre un amigo suyo, pero en cuanto avanzamos en el juego vamos descubriendo tanto de él que llega un punto donde (al menos a mí) nos costará separar nuestra imagen propia de la de Coda. Sin spoilers voy a explicar que hay mini-juegos donde tendremos la obligación de dialogar ♥♥♥ un NPC, y tendremos que elegir nuestra respuesta a lo que el NPC nos diga, sabemos en todo momento que es Coda quien escribió esas respuestas en reflejo del momento de su vida que estaba atravesando, pero más temprano que tarde estas respuestas se tornan profundas y difíciles de elegir, llega el punto en el que es confuso diferir si estamos eligiendo una de las respuestas de Coda o si estamos pensando en lo que nosotros realmente diríamos — Recuerden: nosotros no somos jugadores y no deberíamos esperar tener una influencia en el relato, no somos el centro del juego, por eso es tan especial llegar al sentimiento de interactuar ♥♥♥ el juego como si tratara de nosotros.

->¿Es como Stanley Parable? Rotundamente no, pero sinceramente tal vez un poco. Visualmente, noto que hay algo de inspiración de este juego para algunas ambientaciones en The Stanley Parable: Deluxe Edition, utiliza recursos de este juego y los utiliza bien. Cumple el objetivo en ambos. Sin embargo, cualquier parentesco visual sería realmente irrelevante comparado a su mayor similitud: la capacidad de sumergirte en el juego y ser parte de él. La diferencia es que TSP gira alrededor de tus decisiones, TBG gira en torno a lo que Coda eligió hace mas de 10 años atrás (2008-2011 para ser exactos), y que puedas ser parte de eso tanto tiempo después es realmente único. Si estás esperando jugar a Stanley Parable, tomar tu propio camino, detalles ocultos, pequeños-grandes gags escondidos, no, no los hay. Todo lo que descubras de The Beginner's Guide vendrá de parte de Coda, de Davey o de vos mismo.

-> ¿Por qué The Beginner's Guide golpea tan fuerte por dentro? TBG tratará constantemente sobre qué es la depresión y nos demuestra una vez que la depresión no es estar triste, no es llorar todo el rato. Nos hace sentir insignificantes, pequeños y le quita cualquier valor a las cosas que hacemos. Eventualmente estaremos en mini-juegos de los que nunca querremos salir, pero el narrador nos forzará a no quedarnos estancados ahí, a seguir adelante y es incómodo hacerlo, pero ese es el punto. Tendremos mini-juegos donde estaremos en distintas cárceles, cárceles de todo tipo, ♥♥♥ lindas o feas decoraciones, ♥♥♥ ambientes hostiles o amenos, el interior de la cárcel será el exterior y viceversa, hasta estaremos fuera de la cárcel y aún así nos seguiremos sintiendo encerrados, lo cual habla de cómo no importa donde estamos, no podemos encontrar fuera aquello que nos falta por dentro. Y creo que este es el mensaje del juego, pero tal vez cuando lo terminen estén en desacuerdo conmigo, tal vez no, tal vez ni siquiera estén de acuerdo ni conmigo ni ♥♥♥ Davey. En fin, es un juego muy especial.

->¿Recomendaría este juego? Sí, totalmente. Absolutamente. Es una experiencia de identificación y retrospectiva que vale mucho la pena, es de los pocos juegos que tienen un alma propia y no vi muchos así en Steam, por lo menos. Tengo que hacer mención sobre el hecho de que, de no ser por haberme quedado AFK en distintos ratos mientras jugaba, podría haber tenido el tiempo suficiente para reembolsarlo pero este juego realmente se merece el dinero que pagué por él, asi que no, no lo reembolsaría. Dura menos de 2 horas si vas como un loco, pero se siente bastante más extenso, especialmente por lo mucho que juega ♥♥♥ tu cabeza.

— Una nota: Davey es el narrador del juego, y todo su diálogo es en inglés, sin embargo, el juego está totalmente traducido al español y cuenta ♥♥♥ subtítulos (apartado de Sonido).

Espero que te sirva como referencia y puedas disfrutar de este juego tanto como yo.

这是一份写给任何想要踏入游戏制作行业(尤其是独立游戏与步行模拟)的《新手指南》

《The Beginner's Guide》当我第一次看到这个游戏标题时,我觉得这是一个介绍新手独立游戏开发者的注意事项的教程之类的东西,当我玩了前十分钟时,我以为这是一个通过介绍一个虚拟人物的游戏开发心路历程来介绍核心玩法对整个游戏的影响。但是我错了,当我通关了整个游戏,我意识到,这个作品通过讲述自己与一个虚构游戏开发者的故事表达了对于自己工作的一份宣泄。(但一万个玩家有一万种新手指南)

由于旁白在游戏中用作者的名字自称,我一开始认为这是一个类纪录片的故事,但之后我意识到,这只是一个虚构的文案。和所有偏寓言,深刻立意的游戏一样,通过一个引人入胜的故事来阐述中心思想。

不直接复述剧情了,稍微说一下关键点,这个故事值得你自己去体验。游戏中的虚拟(?)人物“Coda”就是作者内心深处埋在心底的黑暗面。一个开发者做游戏的初衷是什么?有人是为了让玩家获得最大的享受,有人则是为了通过游戏的剧情等元素表达自己的想法。而游戏中的“Coda”便是后者,当表人格“Davis”,也就是作者,见到了Coda游戏风格的一步步阴暗,越来越不具有任何游戏性,便尝试着开导Coda做出能让玩家玩的游戏。而游戏结尾,Coda直接指出不想要Davis对自己的游戏指手画脚肆意改动,他根本不懂自己想要表达的情感,最后游戏在Davis也陷入了疯狂的自责以及恳求原谅中结束。

你们玩家根本不懂我们想表达的情感!这就是作者所想说的一切。Coda只是为了发泄自己的情绪而选择了制作游戏作为载体,这些游戏不具有,也不需要具有任何游戏性,因为这只是一些类似日记的宣泄情绪的场所,Davis却从玩家的角度考虑这些游戏,甚至将Coda的作品公之于众,殊不知Coda的本意并不是取悦玩家,而是保留自我。将作品公布便是将Coda的整个私人内心世界暴露。

私以为,与《史丹利的寓言》相比,这类游戏的线性流程太死,加之交互性太少,我宁愿称之为一本交互小说或者某种意义上的多媒体而不会称之为游戏。作为一个游戏推荐者我不会推荐这款游戏,因为他压根就“不好玩”,而作为一个剧情推荐者,毫不犹豫,这款游戏是上佳的。(或许以后我会写一篇关于核心玩法以及立意并存性的文章……)

The Stanley Parableの作者が送るThe Stanley Parableに次ぐ衝撃の怪作。
内容については前作同様、本作についてもあまり語れない、
語りたく無いが、The Stanley Parableとはまた違った
ナレーティブゲーム[narrative video game]、いわゆる語りかけてくる系のゲーム。
事実上、日常会話程度の口頭英語がスラスラ理解できる程度の英語力が必要なのがネック。
(そのうち、日本語化はされると思うが)

以下少しだけ冒頭の展開を(若干のネタバレを含みます!)
本ゲーム作者が2008-2011年頃に出会った「Coda」という人物が作ったゲーム(のマップ)の紹介となる。
初めはカウンターストライク用のマップ(初心者がSDKを使ってとりあえず作ってみたといった雑な感じのもの)
から始まり、実際に作ったマップを遊ぶことができます。次は敵の出てこない未完のシューター、・・・
それらをThe Stanley Parableの作者の解説と共に実際に体験し、プレイしていくといった感じです。
これだけ聞くと「そんなゲーム(作品)かあ・・」と思うかもしれませんが…。
ここまで読んで興味が出たなら後は実際にプレイしてみることをお勧めします。


なお、興味が出ても、一切の情報(下調べや、実況動画など)を遮断して、まっさらな状態でプレイすることを強くオススメします。

I was expecting it to be pretentious, but, damn. While there were a couple legitimately touching and insightful moments, the ending fell so flat as to spoil the whole experience for me. The occasional flashes of depth largely just furthered to highlight the overall weakness. It's a game that seems to be about interpreting games, but which leaves you with very little to interpret in the end.

As a fan of The Stanley Parable, picking this up seemed like an obvious choice. I wasn't expecting more of the same, but I could have in no way imagined the humorless bludgeoning I was in for.

I imagine this will be well received among game devs, which may well be the extent of the intended audience.

Anyway, I'm having a bit of a bad luck streak with buying new games on faith, so this review may be a bit more harsh than is warranted.

各位,这里我不讨论这个游戏,我只是发现一个问题
本人e3+1060 在游戏设置里只要把抗锯齿打开 之后就无法再打开游戏了 只要一点开始就闪退
经过我一番测试和寻找其他评论的解决办法 综合解决如下:
右键游戏属性 点启动选项 加入 -windowed
然后就是默认窗口化运行了 之后赶快把抗锯齿关了 然后退出游戏 把启动项删掉 就可以了

所以这游戏有个问题: 其他的设置都可以更改 就是抗锯齿不能改

До чего же интересная история. Заставляет о многом задуматься.. Дейви сделал отличную игру, которая показывает, насколько тяжело одиночество. Я даже не знаю как еще можно описать, что я почувствовала проходя все эти игры, что слились в одну..
Пожалуй, одна из лучших игр, что я видела, другие игры таких эмоций у меня не пробуждали.

The Beginner's Guide is an important title. It is also a flawed title. It amazes and induces deep catharsis at its best, and removes you from the experience at its worst, but regardless, it is an important title. Leto Atreides II has written an excellent criticism of its failings, but I disagree with a few of those. I still contend that The Beginner's Guide is daring in ways that The Stanley Parable wasn't.

At its heart, this is a very different game from The Stanley Parable. Where the latter game is, in my mind, a heady critique of the illusion of player agency and artificial "freedom," The Beginner's Guide seems more concerned with delving into the act of creation, rather than the creation itself, and in turn the true "ownership" of that creation once it leaves its author's hands.

The author, in this case, is the enigmatic "Coda," and is also the game's primary concern. Wreden plays a fictionalized version of himself, acting as your guide through Coda's many odd and striking interactive pieces. What initially offput me was the frequency with which Wreden interjected to present his own interpretations of the events on screen, even going as far as to change aspects of the game for the player's convenience - tearing down walls and bypassing labyrinths, speeding you through sections that weren't meant to be sped through and even, as you learn in an enormous revelation toward the end of the game, placing lampposts to impose an "goal" to many of Coda's games. To a certain extent, it felt to me like Wreden was violating these personal spaces of Coda's without any means for him/her to object; there was something dirty about the whole thing. And it's those moments and revelations in which The Beginner's Guide truly becomes important, as a visceral, personal plea to consider the human behind the games. It's a piece which cannot be appreciated in a single playthrough; going back through with full knowledge of those revelations is essential to understanding Wreden as a character, and even as an artist himself.

Like any work, The Beginner's Guide is not without its flaws. There are certainly red herrings and curiousities strewn about several of the games which ultimately lead to nothing, and the game's linearity hampers the pace in several of the more open sections. There are also a few games that seem to be leading toward an idea, but ultimately fall short (then, perhaps that's the point?) There are a few more minor gripes, but they're largely overshadowed by the fantastic ideas at play.

Some will not connect with this game. Some will inevitably compare it to The Stanley Parable and dismiss it for being so linear. Those are perfectly valid opinions. But if the discussion generated here is any indication, its release is certainly vital in some respect.

I still think frequently about what I experienced in this game. I find myself coming back to the themes and my own reactions to them again and again, and it feels as though something in me has been moved profoundly. That, to me, is the mark of great art.

I'm not exactly sure what to call The Begninner's Guide. It's not a game, and I don't, as some would, say that to belittle or discount it. I would also hesitate to call it a walking simulator, as the term fails to give this title justice. What I can say is that The Beginner's Guide is a unique, ambitious experience that I would describe as being like walking through a gallery of someone's psyche or through the pages of their diary. It's deeply personal, and at times, uncomfortably heavy and intimate.

Would I recommend you play The Beginner's Guide? On one hand, unquestionably, yes, especially if you are a creator who shares their creations with others, a person who struggles with depression or social anxiety, or just a person who knows someone who fits one of these categories. But recommending this title is very much like recommending a painting or a piece of music; what moved me and impacted my life might be underwhelming or even boring or mundane for someone else. However, if you are looking for a short, deep experience that doesn't overstay its welcome and will give you something to think and talk about,The Beginner's Guide is definitely worth giving a look.

This game is an unparalleled work of interactive dramatic fiction. Whether the subject of this story has some place in the real world or is an antithetical extension of the narrator's own securities, it doesn't really matter. Because what this game does, more than providing compelling gameplay, is pose questions that any creative type (especially in game design) should at least attempt to answer.

Why do we put constraints on what constitutes art/a game? Is the purpose of creativity to enrich an environment at large, to give validation to personal convictions and ideas, or does it just exist for its own sake? How can we continue to open doors without lingering too long in the space between? How can we be a healthy, creative individual without suffering the pitfalls of external comparison and burnout?

These are all such important questions and the Beginner's Guide asks them in such a beautiful, melancholy way.

This game enters the genre or realm of games that, when you're buying it, you're buying an experience rather than a game. It offers an interesting and somewhat thought-provoking monologue, but personally I think it only scratches the surface of what this genre is capable of offering to the player. For that reason, I think it's worth it's price when on sale, as you likely won't be replaying it for the enjoyment of replaying a -game-, rather re-indulging in the experience, which imo can only be so many times until you're satisfied with how you've wrapped your head around it. I wouldn't say its groundbreaking, and YMMV due to your own personal experiences that may be embodied in this game, but I don't think it taps into the complexity a game like this /could/ get into. People who will find themselves in this game will have a better time than people who don't, but are on similar or higher planes of thinking.

TL;DR: YMMV due to personal experiences, but it's a fun game that won't take more than 2 hours, so price it for yourself on that.

I probably won’t make a lot of friends with this critique, because it deviates quite a bit from the popular consensus. This isn’t really a problem, neither for my point of view, nor for what everybody else seemingly thinks about this game. Suffice it to say that I’m not in the camp that calls this the apotheosis of narrative games.

Before I qualify that statement, let’s back up a bit. Because The Beginner’s Guide heavily relies on the fact that you’ve played The Stanley Parable, and because of this, it’s nigh on impossible to talk about this game without spoiling both it and The Stanley Parable. If you do not wish to read how I discuss the flaws in these game, don’t continue beyond this paragraph. To you I merely say that The Stanley Parable makes a promise that The Beginner’s Guide does not keep. The Stanley Parable was an examination of what a game is and isn’t and how interactivity plays into that. The Beginner’s Guide attempts to superficially be about game development, but is in actuality a breakdown of a human being and how his outlook colors your own perception of what you experience. Everything after this will be spoilers.

So let’s recap The Stanley Parable: It’s a game that relies on the player being aware of what it wants to tell you. If you follow the instructions of the narrator to the end and think that’s all the game has to offer, you’re gonna have a bland 15 minute walk through some offices. If however you realize that the game is about the choices you make and how it’s difficult for developers to account for all the meaningful choices you should be able to make in a game versus the actual limited palette you get to choose from, you’re granted a lot of freedom to explore this concept, because Davey Wreden successfully mapped out all the choices you can make, no matter how trivial or insubstantial they may seem. This was the genius of The Stanley Parable, it made you think about why you play games and why you play them in the particular fashion you are playing them. Depending on how many endings you found on your own as opposed to reading guides, it says a lot about who you as a gamer are and possibly indirectly predicts what type of games you’re attracted to. It spoke directly to you as a gamer and made at least me more aware about the things I do in games, the methods I employ to discover all these new and unique worlds.

The Beginner’s Guide takes some of the cues fromThe Stanley Parable and implements them for completeness’ sake. Narration is the key to both of these games and since The Stanley Parable relied so heavily on you defying what you were told to do, The Beginner’s Guide has multiple cases where trying to do anything other than what’s expected of you will result in narration leading you right back on track. Ostensibly, there’s no way to “break” the narrative, and believe me, I tried my hardest to do exactly that.

So if the narrative is this important this time around, what exactly are we being told? We get to experience a bunch of little “games” as they’re called, though in all honesty, none of them are games to speak of, since they have no mechanics, no challenges and no failure states. They’re simply interactive pieces that serve to illustrate certain points or thoughts of the person who made them. We’re told that this person is not in fact Wreden himself, but some other person called Coda who created all these short little vignettes without the intent of ever releasing them to the public. We’re supposed to analyze the work of Coda, to get to know this person from his/her work and in some way become familiar with their thoughts, since apparently this person believes that all his/her work is only part of a unified whole, there to express his/her inner workings.

What seems like an interesting idea is unfortunately undone by the actual point the game wants to drive home. See, throughout the game, none of the interpretations drawn from these “games” come from the player. They’re directly told to us from the narrator (Wreden himself). As such, we get to see a second-hand interpretation of the work of someone else and what that work might say about that person. In actuality, the game never was about Coda. It was always about Wreden himself and how his interpretation was dead wrong. This creates a hairline fracture in what the game is and what it tries to tell you. The game wants to be seen as an apology to Coda for Wreden’s wrong interpretations into Coda’s “games”. For this to be true however, it makes no sense for Wreden to introduce us to Coda’s games in the way he does. This whole idea of Wreden sharing Coda’s work and then coming to the realization that his interpretation was wrong and maybe the reason why Coda stopped making his/her “games” breaks my suspension of disbelief, because the narrative is already written in stone, so to speak. So my involvement with the title has no bearing on Wreden’s realization, hence why before he published this game, he must have already been aware of all of this.

You see, there are elements missing for this scenario to be believable. By making it personal, it opens up a plethora of questions that first need to be answered before I can believe what I’m being presented with. I don’t know if this Coda person is actually real or if everything I’m shown in this game is mere fabrication. Or if Coda is supposed to represent Wreden himself at a different stage, since there’s a good chance that might be true, if the telephone conversation with yourself has any meaning. The problem with this is that for it to resonate with me, I would’ve had to know Wreden and by proxy Coda personally. Because my interpretation of a person will always be different if I relay it to you than your own if you actually meet and interact with that person. Remember all those people who wronged you in some way, who you can’t stand for some reason or another? They have friends who love them for who and what they are and if you were to give your interpretation of that person to their friends, you would be met with confusion.

So why exactly doesn’t The Beginner’s Guide work? Because it’s interactive. The ultimate irony of this title is that the interactivity – no matter how limited it may be – undercuts the narrative it wants to present to us. Because the interactivity plays no role for the player. The interactivity is there for the developer’s sake, not the player’s. That is admittedly an interesting idea, but the idea already spells out why I as a player am not engaged by the interactivity. I’m not part of the narrative, I’m being told something, in a very clear and explicit manner, directly through narration. And it doesn’t tell me anything through gameplay at all. Even the weirder “games” feature basically no gameplay at all, and what little gameplay we do see has no bearing on what that particular “game” is trying to tell us.

The Beginner’s Guide is basically the interactive version of an abstract expressionist painting, where the creator desperately wants to make you believe that the work in question has meaning when it really doesn’t, or when it only tangentially touches upon what it intends to say but never actually expands on the central premise. It’s like wanting to get to know Zdzisław Beksiński from his apocalyptic paintings and then finding out that he’s actually quite a nice guy to be with, with a sense of humor that clashes with what his paintings show you. Fittingly, he was also a person who despised other people interpreting things into his work. Or to put it more bluntly, The Beginner’s Guide is artsy for artsyness’ sake, without any redeeming qualities on the gameplay front.

玩完已经过很久了,时至今日才想起来我应该给它一个好评
在我很久很久的游戏旅程以来,我自认为即使没玩过,我也已经接触过了很多很多的游戏,而我对游戏的认知更是已经相当完善,远超大部分人了
直到我通关了它,我震惊于游戏背后的深邃,震惊于游戏之下的逻辑,震惊于游戏之上的思想,震惊于游戏将我的认知崩塌
直到接触这款游戏,我或许才明白第九艺术是为何物
我仿佛不在游戏中行走,不在游戏中倾听,我仿佛在拼凑一颗碎裂的心
一颗纯粹的,真诚的,受伤的心
无比悲伤的,一颗作者的心
作者忍了痛,绝望的把心剜出来,小心翼翼地摆在了玩家的面前
太孤独了,把人压垮的孤独
作者就这样发出呻吟,呻吟的句子是一款游戏
一款我从没见过其类似品的游戏
一款令我敬畏的游戏
我的心在两个小时里不停地被震撼,我颤抖地去理解游戏的背后,去与作者交流
这款游戏带给我的东西是无价的,我很高兴我没有畏惧于这不算高昂的价格而不去玩它

我有太多太多的东西不知道要怎么说出来,或许中文评论区的第一条热评已经说的很多了
我以敬畏的心情,在一个寒意稍浓的夜晚,打下这一条本该属于它的评测

The Beginner's Guide – это потрясающе чистое, человечное искусство для меня, потому что эта история невероятно открыта и правдива.

На самом деле совсем не важно, являются ли рассказчик и Кода одним и тем же человеком или нет. Потому что трагедия этой истории всё равно будет жива.

Само повествование изначально запутывает игрока, ему кажется, будто Кода страдает потерей себя, и пытается отразить это в своём вырождающемся творчестве, но это далеко не так.
Просто Кода чувствует давление Дэви в виде помощи, которая ему совсем не нужна. Она нужна самому Дэви.

Это диалог двух людей посредством игр, посредством творчества.
На самом деле Кода в этих играх – машина. Машина, которая отказывается работать так, как вынуждает её Дэви. Кода даёт в руки рассказчика пистолет и говорит буквально: давай, убей меня, убей моё творчество, убей моё искусство, которое существует только для меня, а не для других, потому что именно это ты, Дэви, и делаешь, пытаясь показать его миру.

Дэви производит впечатление того, кто пытается помочь человеку в беде, но ведь это он нуждается в помощи больше всего.
Он, в отличие от Коды, не чувствует цельности, полноты себя, своей самости и аутентичности. Он не может творить из ничего. Даже эта игра – отражение работ Коды, иначе говоря, зависимость. Все мы проходим через это, через потерю себя, неволю, чувствуя себя только через других. Что на самом деле есть каждый из нас, как не отражение?

Оригинально ли это? Нет. Но это невероятно мощно и подлинно.

Конечно, Кода знает о том, что происходит с Дэви, но он не пытается помочь. И это не зло. Просто он понимает, что ответы приходят не посредством вмешательства тебя в жизнь другого, а сами. К тому же для разных людей работают разные вещи.
И усердие, с которым Дэви пытается помочь Коде, это то, как он пытается помочь себе.

И когда ты наконец-то поймёшь, о чём я говорю...

не говори ничего.

I've been a longtime fan of The Stanley Parable, by which I mean the original Half-Life mod. And of course I was incredibly excited years later when its remake was announced, and as I anticipated its release, and I was extremely happy and satisfied with that as well. I had been meaning to play The Beginner's Guide for three years now since its release. It was never on sale at the right time for me, I went through points where I didn't play games or was too absorbed in my own game development or didn't have any disposable income or was too unhappy to do much of anything, so it took three years for me to play The Beginner's Guide.

Just the other night, with some money to waste, I decided to buy a batch of games that I had long wanted, even though none were on sale. The Beginner's Guide was among them. I played through Human Resource Machine (which tickled my software developer instincts greatly), and chipped away at some other less interesting titles, until I booted up The Beginner's Guide.

Somehow I had kept myself very spoiler-free for the last three years, and I honestly had no idea what I was going to play. I anticipated something akin to The Stanley Parable, not with the same gimmick, but a high-quality and engaging and emotionally resonant walking simulator with a narrator speaking over. I was precisely right, but still this game was absolutely nothing like I had expected.

I've made games for many years now, throughout the entirety of my adult life. I dedicated my life to it, made major life decisions around it, and suffered many consequences from it. I'm uncomfortable speaking about most of it, especially in any kind of real-time or specifically interpersonal communication, but I deal with a lot of problems regarding depression and anxiety stemming from my family, growing up in poverty, how people see me, how I see myself, and an abusive relationship.

The Beginner's Guide hurts me. It enraptures me and I absolutely love it. It's not about me, but I see myself in it. As do many others, I'm sure. As a game designer its extremely evocative to me, but even without that connection, it's a truly emotional and experiental title.

Please set aside two hours after buying and installing The Beginner's Guide to play through it as blind as possible.

Maybe you won't find it as powerful as I do, but maybe you will. Or more so. I can't know, but I can only heartily recommend it to everyone in this review that's more about me than the actual game.

Одна из тех редких игр, после которых несколько дней ходишь в глубоких раздумиях. За свои мизерные 4 часа (2 прохождения), она предоставила просто в тысячи раз больше, чем какая-либо другая игра последних лет лично для меня.

История о дружбе и творчестве, История о том, как тяжело понять чувства другого человека. Все это выполнено в простом, но не менее привлекательном стиле несвязанных между собой игр-ходилок и практическая каждая из них сможет удивить своей определенной изюминкой.

Тем не менее стоит учесть, что это симулятор ходьбы и вся соль кроется чисто в рассказе главного героя, которым выступает сам автор The Beginner's Guide (а также и Stanley Parable). Если вы не находите такие игры интересными, то покупать скорее всего не стоит.

게임 개발자의 이야기지만, 게임 개발에 관한 이야기는 소재일뿐, 사람과 사람의 관계에 대한 이야기입니다.
이 게임에 대해 이야기 할수록 여러분이 게임에서 얻는 경험이 빛바래게 될테니 자세한 이야기는 할 수 없는게 아쉽지만
게임 개발에 관심이 없으셔도 충분히 재밌게 즐길수 있게 만들어진 게임이고,
게임에 대한 관점과 타인에 대한 시선을 한번쯤 되돌아보게 만드는 게임입니다.
게임에 애정이 있으시다면 꼭 한번쯤 플레이 해 보세요.

This isn't a 'game.'

If you can get past that, the experience is well worth it. I found it more emotionally impactful and thought provoking than any movie/tv show I've seen recently. Make sure you have a solid hour and half to get through it, though. I made the mistake of launching for the first time at 1AM and couldn't put it down until it was over.

Any of the down-votes you see are basically because people failed to read the game's description.

ja was soll man sagen.... wer ein spiel sucht, wo es um knall bumm peng geht, ist hier komplett falsch, doch wer ein spiel sucht, den es auch im herzen berührt, ein spiel was die seele streichelt, der ist genau richtig. man kann das spiel schlecht beschreiben, ausser das man sagen kann, spiel es und du wirst in eine odysee der gefühle eintauchen.
mich hat es tief berührt, mich zum nachdenken angeregt, nachzudenken was , wer ich bin, was mein leben so mit sich bringt, und was man daraus machen kann.
man muss sich wirklich drauf einlassen, tut man das nicht wird das spiel keinerlei bedeutung haben, und man wird sich fragen wtf was soll das jetzt.
ich kann es jedem menschen der gerne auch mal über seine geistigen grenzen hinausgeht wärmstens empfehlen. ich habe selten so etwas erleben dürfen, danke an alle die dieses spiel möglich gemacht haben!

A game „from the creator of Stanley Parable” everyone says.
True, yet not true.

The Beginner's Guide is not a real game. It is a walking simulator with very well written and narrated short story about strangers, friendship, making games, great ideas and depression.

But is it „based on a true story”?
That is the right question.

Before buying for a full price keep in mind that TBG is interesting, but still one-way walkthrough with zero replaybility that will take you 1.5 hours. Then you can add + 0,5 to 1 hour of reading about theories and deep reverse engineering of gamefiles, written by people who want to know what just actually happened.

Was it worth it?
For me, absolutely.

不赞同许多人关于“作者不在场”的讨论,或是讨论的方向,因为游戏中牵涉到无数实实在在在场的战争,这种战争或许发生在类似游戏里的不同作者间,也或许是发生在单一作者处的内战。游戏中的素材为我们展现了一个前游戏的原始场地——因而是真正自由的【游戏场地】,为言说这不可说的萌动的沉默,旁白自始至终都以否定的姿态(随游戏进程不断加剧)站在彼岸,从而为我们导出了这一冲突中的战争图景。

我认为游戏更多地表达了创作的苦闷状态。拉康派的精神分析认为,人类早已与实在界的原质(前符号秩序的)世界分离,而只能被阉割地生活在符号秩序及其延异之中,任何试图抵抗都只能被认为是一种自欺欺人的拒认。这显然是游戏旁白试图解读、捕获游戏素材时所采取的思路,它所采取的秩序亦即游戏工业工程师在进行设计时所采取的秩序,机制-反馈的秩序,同时也是游戏评测的秩序。当这种秩序被一种不可思议的新鲜感冲击,它就将其接纳为一种上升了的、辩证的倒转,从而扩大了它自我实现的范围。这也是为什么随着素材越玩越多,旁白的惊异却越来越少——这是他狂妄的志在必得不断增长的进程,这一进程随着素材及其作者在高能下的扭曲形变(异质的原始世界无从表达、无从解读、无从评测——能量无从变现的无从推进)而驶向极点,在最后以一声核爆作为战争的苦闷结局。

Oyun Stanley Parable'nin yapımcılarından ''deneysel'' bir oyun.Çok anlatırsam spoiler olur, ama kısaca görüşlerimi yazayım:
Oyun gerçekten çok iyi, gerçi oyun bile sayılmaz bir buçuk saatlik interaktif film gibi.Parasına değer, alın oynayın.

Not: Yalnızken oynayın.Sadece anlatıcı ile siz kalın.Hatta mümkünse gece, etraf sessizken oynayın.

The game speaks a lot about art -- the creative process, creators, and the interpretation of art. It made me sad as the game went along, and the stinger during the last chapter really hits you out of nowhere. If you're at all interested in art, and games as an artistic medium, get it, and play it in one setting.

There's really nothing more to say.

Excellent look at abstract game design. Emotionally compelling, but took me through even some uncomfortable emotions - including actual anger at the narrator.

A roughly 1-2 hour delve into some very fascinating concepts. Worth a sale pickup.

这个游戏不适合所有人,请谨慎购买。游戏性为0,但是叙事某种意义上来说是满分。
并且没有中文,没有字幕,只能靠你的听力了。英语要求水平不算高,但是也不低。购买前请三思。
到最后,我真的感动的快哭出来了。
剧透→尤其最后,进入Coda的宇宙飞船关卡中的镭射中的时候,差点哭出来。还记得当时关卡中第一次出现这个东西,语音说:“如果你进入镭射中,就可以拯救我们所有人,但是你就会死去,你愿意吗?”。最后一章如果是Davey的赎罪,那么很显然,他的回答是:“我愿意,只希望我们能回到过去”←剧透
虽然说游戏还是讲述的两种相反人格的人产生的碰撞,有的人会觉得无病呻吟,但是当自己能带入进去好好思考的时候,会受到很激烈的情绪冲击。

这游戏虽然没办法和史丹利的寓言一较高下,但是出于作者破罐子破摔也好,下一副猛药企图让Coda原谅自己,亦或是让更多人认可Coda的创作也好,这游戏我真心没办法差评,因为我已经被打动了。

剧透→监牢、毫无意义的解密、虚构出来的朋友、三个漆黑的洞穴贴图、自己写下的玩家交流留言、给自己施加压力麻醉自己的负面情绪、假装自己过得很开心、能忘却烦恼并且持续制造正能量的机器、没有实际意义却被赋予了无穷意义的路灯……←剧透
虽然我不是自闭型人格,但是这些东西总有很多能戳到我,并且感觉到共鸣。

非常棒的纪录片/电子小说/公开信/道歉信,希望有朝一日Coda能和Davey重修旧好。

Non sarà divertente, non vi farà morire dalle risate e non vi farà piangere, ma vi farà pensare.

"Giocandolo" ho avuto come la sensazione di essere nella testa di questo Coda, facendo un passo dopo l'altro in ciò che lui è andato a creare e a distruggere.

Tutto questo non è un gioco, è un viaggio introspettivo dentro la mente del creatore e quella del giocatore e porterà a creare una sorta di comunicazione.

Le sue creazioni sono lo specchio della sua mente.

Non sono in grado di dare un voto a questo gioco, come già detto non lo vedo come tale.
L'unica cosa che mi sento di dire è che lo consiglio.

A Masterpiece

While its whimsical tale of a narrator consistently butting heads with an unpredictable player character was funny, it also touched on more universal themes like the nature of free will, the void between thought and action, and the conflicting internal monologues that drive, confuse, and haphazardly guide us through life. It was heady stuff, but tackled in a cutesy package that primarily satirised conventional game design. Wreden's sophomore effort, The Beginner's Guide, dials down the humour, nixes the satire, and cranks the meta narrative up to 11 in one of gaming's most overtly autobiographical commercial projects.

Much like The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide is a linear first-person game shorn of conventional mechanics like combat or puzzles (besides a single, relatively easy one early on). It also has a narrator commenting on your journey. That's where the similarities end.

This time out, the narrator isn't an enthusiastic Englishman, but rather Wreden playing himself. Wreden explains that he's here to show off the works of his friend, Coda, an enigmatic figure with a penchant for unique, experimental games. Coda is an odd duck, however, in that he never shows his games to anyone. He makes them, deletes them, then makes more. Wreden hypothesises that we can get to know this man through his work, so off we go cataloguing the digital scrapbook of this hermetic oddball.

It's a fascinating premise that flips the way we usually think about games. Typically video games present worlds that we're meant to buy into. They usually contain their own lore, characters, mechanics and stories. Even more abstract titles like Journey, Rez or El Shaddai have a thematic or metaphorical consistency that guides us through their fantastical settings. With The Beginner's Guide, however, we're not meant to make sense of Coda's postmodern landscapes on their own terms, but rather to use them to paint a picture of the person who made them.

As such, The Beginner's Guide is actually a character study. Coda is one of gaming's most intriguing, mysterious figures. His games tend to deal with themes of alienation, self-doubt, obsession, depression and occasionally giddy mania. At one point he becomes obsessed with making games about various abstract interpretations of prisons, another title is a tranquil love letter to the simple pleasures of household chores, and one project mockingly uses fake online player notes scattered around a cavern as a metaphor for loneliness. Some of these games aren't particularly interesting on their own, but when splayed out in an anthology they start to tell the story of who this person really is.

Despite this, The Beginner's Guide isn't about Coda as much as it is about Wreden, the young developer from Sacramento who went from a nobody to a minor celebrity after releasing only one game. Wreden is obsessed with Coda; he's in awe of the man's rampant idea generation, unconventional design choices, and most importantly his aversion to seeking validation. Wreden's stubborn journey to understand this unique creature through their work is as captivating as the work itself - perhaps even more so.

What makes The Beginner's Guide work so well is that Wreden's quest is an inexorably human one that touches upon several universal struggles: How do you get to know someone who doesn't want to be known? How do you respond to a seemingly kindred spirit who may not be as relatable as we think? How do we interpret others by placing ourselves in their shoes when we're still trapped in our own heads?

It's a shockingly personal look into Wreden's psyche and the more we learn about his in-game persona and friend, the more we grow to care - and quite frankly worry - about the person who made this. Some will no doubt argue that it's self-indulgent, but I for one appreciate its rawness. Wreden doesn't hold back on his complex - and not always flattering - feelings about his plight in recent years, which makes The Beginner's Guide a gut-wrenching experience at times.

The Beginner's Guide is one of the most daring and creative commercial games to come out in a good long while. Some may call it pretentious or navel-gazing, and people could argue that its tight, linear design and scripted narration almost feel like an interactive LiveJournal entry. But when it's told with this level of craft and imagination I simply don't care. The Beginner's Guide's provocative imagery and personal prose set it apart from just about anything else out there. Those interested in how to tell personal stories in interactive media without resorting to waxy-faced NPCs or collectible audio diaries will find Wreden's latest a masterclass in character-driven storytelling. 10/10

Este é um jogo sobre criação de jogos, sobre o que pode estar por trás deles, e os erros que podemos cometer ao interpretar um texto ou um jogo intimista. Fala de um criador de jogos que preferiu se isolar, criando jogos sobre isolamento que praticamente são impossíveis de jogar. E outro criador que, obsecado por este, resolve reinterpretar os jogos do primeiro ad infinitum, ao invés de olhar para si mesmo. Talvez um recado para os imitadores do The Stanley Parable? Intrigante pelo menos. Curto o suficiente (2 horas), recomendado pra quem gosta de metagame surreal.

The Beginner's Guide es de los pocos videojuegos, que al terminarlos, simplemente lo cierras y te quedas viendo tu escritorio por un rato, reflexionando sobre lo que acabas de ver.
The Beginner's Guide es un algo que fue creado de una manera tan intima, que es imposible no recomendarlo, es sentimental, profundo, y es un juego que esta echo solo para una persona.
The Beginner's Guide es una obra maestra, simplemente jueguenlo, porque es algo fantastico lo que logran ♥♥♥ este juego.

If someone told me this game was about me I'd believe them. I'm sure many others, especially creatives, would feel the same. The game is over in an hour or so but will stay with me for life.

Never in my life have I felt so deeply saddened and so incredibly inspired at the same time.

Amazing work.

Oftentimes with story-driven games it can feel as though the same story could have been told better thru another medium-- TV, writing or the like. The Beginner's Guide is not one of those games. It is a story about art, and it tells this story in one of the most artful, emotional games I have ever played. I recommend this game deeply for anyone looking to get immersed in a story of the artist and the audience viewing him.

A very generous friend gifted this game to me, and I was excited to try it because I enjoy “meta” games, and the premise interested me. My gameplay experience left me feeling somewhat ambivalent.

If you like games that focus on creative design, thought-provoking narratives, walking simulators, and being told a story, then you will probably enjoy this game. Be advised, if you are looking for something similar to The Stanley Parable, you will NOT find that here. This is literally a walking simulator that tells you a story for approximately 1.5 hours. Also, while I normally try not to mention price, I do not feel that the current $10.99 CAD is justified – perhaps half or even 75% of that amount would be more appropriate. Where I live, that is about the same cost for a movie ticket, but after playing, I would personally wait until this one hit the discount day (cheap Tuesdays). Hopefully you were able to snag this on the recent Humble Bundle (HB Indie Bundle 17).

One thing I’d like to add before continuing – many of the reviews you will read paint this game as being “pretentious,” however, I feel that this is not the case. Although the ending felt awkward to me, it was still very powerful.
The aesthetics are decent and standard of your old-school Counter-Strike-era titles (the games showcased were all created using the Source engine). Beginner’s Guide is narrated by Davey Wreden, the mastermind behind The Stanley Parable (both the original Half-Life 2 mod and standalone game), who does an excellent job of drawing in your attention and interest. The narrative is the product you are purchasing – it has heavy “meta” themes and offers insight into game design as a form of artful expression (which I agree with). This recurring theme is given to you very, very well – there was a specific part where I realized I was being judgmental based only on information given by the narrator. When I caught myself, I felt good and bad at the same time (like when you first realize that character POVs in books like Game of Thrones are not always reliable).

Controls are very simple – the game is purely storytelling placed on top of a walking simulator. There are no puzzles or a difficulty since everything is linear.
Gameplay consists – you guessed it – of you walking around, exploring different levels of varying games while Davey tells you a story. For me, there was one part that I found rather cringe-y, but I can see how that specific scene would be powerful to others. The game is peppered nicely with intelligent lines that dig into your humanity (ex: “maybe he just liked. . .”), and anyone who enjoys creative design for anything – not just games – should enjoy this story.

Overall, if you do not mind the price (or get it on a discount), I think exploring Beginner’s Guide is worth your time. Approach it with an open mind and really think about the story. Something I enjoyed seeing is the amount of fan theories that have been proposed since this game was released. Davey’s legacy of making people think continues after The Stanley Parable with Beginner’s Guide.

If you like storytelling and the art of creative design, then you should definitely give this game a try.

Recommend!

Cheers,

如果你是一个倾听者,那么这款游戏适合你,可以说这是一款不是游戏的游戏,作者先后制作了《史丹利的预言》和《新手指南》(也就是这款游戏),但是两种游戏截然不同,一个是对人性选择深空的心理游戏(同时旁边的梗被其他游戏所借鉴),而这款游戏而是讲述了游戏设计的背后,随着时间的顺序我们慢慢走近了Coda的内心世界,一个鲜为人知的游戏制作者,每次都和作者分享他的游戏,在Coda的眼中游戏有时不需要宏伟的场面,和高难度的操作,相反要回归到本源——游戏作为第九艺术,在游戏中寻找这里,就像游戏中的一个关卡所体现的内容一样,未来在你的背后,而你却无法行前,未来在你眼中是未知的,而你的眼前是你的过去,我们无法预知和所见未来,但要勇敢去探索,这正是这游戏出彩之处,当然这种隐喻的内容还有很多(牢房、双门、路灯、迷宫),我就不剧透了(游戏要亲身体验才能说吼),而在后期是作者对Coda的惋惜,一个好的游戏制作者就此停止制作工作,而本游戏的目的就是对Coda和像Coda这样有想法的作者的激励(话说我们也需要这种创新想法的作者我们好像都是抄袭的诶,我们需要创新)。
对于这款游戏的更多内容我制作了2期视频:新手指南#1[v.youku.com]
新手指南#2[v.youku.com]当然如你们所见,这款游戏虽然流程很短,但是可以说是对游戏设计者的福音。
下面是重点了:这款游戏有汉化哟,起源汉化组真好,翻译出韵味来了,值得一用(好像没给我广告费)最后呢,希望你们呢找到你们喜欢的游戏,还有Dw_Mc的优酷频道[i.youku.com]记得订阅哦(*≧ω≦)

I love these types of games that hint at some deeper meaning as an "experience" and folks are all "you either get it or you don't" well I could see how it was going to end as all the threads fell in to place but I've hit not recommend because I had to force myself to finish it. They also say "you'll be thinking about this game for days to come!" Right now I couldn't give a monkey's hairy ----.

I don't think this is meant to be a game nor is it meant to be entirely enjoyable either. Felt like you were inside someone's Youtube 360 vid while they are making it and talking to you. It's very different and unique yet same old and simply boring. I could see how it could resonate with some people and how it's a pile of tripe to others.

就像Davey所说的,可能他当初不去和自己的朋友说Coda开始逐渐把自己孤立,可能患有抑郁,而只是他单纯的喜欢做Prison,事情也许不会越走越歪。Coda的脑回路很像一个艺术家,他追求的游戏风格并不是playable的,而Davey的想法与其恰巧相反,他认为付出了那么多心血的东西就要能得到一个结果,而不是在一个监狱里面等待一个小时。只能说Coda注定孤独,“A man cannot talk himself out of depression.” 不断的自我否定与和外界的隔离决定了Coda的游戏风格随着时间的推移月渐冰冷。也许把自己朋友的游戏作品与别人分享是Davey的不对,可能Coda只希望自己创造的世界能被自己真正欣赏。他不希望自己的世界被别人曲解,更不希望自己的精神寄托被别人指手画脚。 但,灵感终究来自于生活。当他脑中的Machine停止的时候,他已经没有办法再去寻找别的办法来填补内心的空虚了。游戏全篇的背景独白完全可以听出Davey的懊悔与自责,他认为是自己没有帮助到自己的朋友,他认为自己失败了,他甚至没有办法去了解到Coda内心的一丝真实想法,但你没有办法去挽回一个自己把铁笼锁上的人,亦或者,他压根就没有把自己孤立,可能过一个小时,他自己就会出来。
即使Coda对于Davey分享他的作品的事撂了伤人的话,Davey依然想要通过这个方式来让他的作品得以面世,得以获得更多人的认可,从这件事我们可以看出Davey的坚决。然而,我认为,这并非是件好事。 Davey与Coda本就相持不同观点,就这件事情来说,虽然让Coda得以与欣赏他作品的人接触,让自己创造的世界不再孤独是件好事,但Davey的执拗也有可能是在伤害Coda,这本就是件令人无奈的事情。只能说Coda本身就不善于社交,两个人本身的意见冲突事情本不大,但关键在于两个人是否愿意坦诚对待矛盾。至少从过去发生的事情来看,Davey依然没有走进Coda的内心,也没有了解Coda的真正想法,而只是一厢情愿的在”拯救“他。
真心祝愿Coda能够重新开始制作游戏,也希望Davey能够实现自己对于2018年新游戏的预期,当然,也最最希望Coda和Davey能够重修于好。你们都是天才,你们都是最棒的。
You are both geniuses, you are both great game producer but just with different pursuits. I really hope Coda will come back and you guys can heal your friendship. Looking forward to more awesome works and Best Wishes!

How to get existential crisis in 2 hours.

The Beginner's Guide is an interactive storytelling video game created by Davey Wreden under the studio name Everything Unlimited Ltd, who is known for other title- The Stanley Parable.

But while Stanley Parable is an interractive game with multiple endings, Beginner's Guide features a single, linear story.
So bring a cup of tea and comfy chair as Davey himself will narrate his story about a developer called Coda, and will take you through a number of incomplete and abstract game creations made by him so you can figure out what type of a person he is by experiencing them.

Gameplay wise Beginner's Guide is very simple. It features first person perspective, allows you to move around and explore each game, with ability to interract with few elements you find throughout them.
If by some weird chance your keyboard has only 6-7 keys working, you can still play the game without any issues! Well, maybe with minor issues.
Games themselfs are rather linear but some of them offer very basic exploration, puzzles or minigames, usually with a second meaning behind them.
And that is end of gameplay. Minimalistic so you won't be interrupted, letting you focus on Davey's narration, but just enough for progression and feeling of interactivity with a story. You do that for less than 2 hours and voila! You are done.

As obvious you play this game for story, but unlike The Stanley Parable it's less about funny outcomes and more about human relationships, and interpretations of events taking place in it.
Game is very open about that aspect, which is mentioned in the game as Davey himself shares his email for players so they can share their thoughts with him.
Some see this game as a general commentary on a relationship between developers and players as it includes such elements. Game is about gaming design and nature of videogame development, talking about those from a more..."human" perspective.
Some see in it a personal motive of Davey after success of his previous title, all highs and lows that came out of it and how he dealt with them.
There is more but I don't want to spoil everything.

The only problem you can find in a game, or in it's deep storyline you have to interprete is that some people felt game forced some of the Davey's thoughts way too hard.
I will admit some of the parts which could be used to expand the interpretation even further here are narrowed down to push Davey's own narration. Is it by design? So a player can wrap up specific part of thoughts and focus on next one? Is it to guide a player? Or is it simply because Davey as a narrator belives this is just right? No idea.

What I do know is that Beginner's Guide is a great game. Maybe less of a "great game" and more of a "great piece of art" as open structure and amount of different interpretations fit more to usual art than to videogames but hey, it's another game you can add to the "Games are a form of art" bingo, ignoring the fact they are art by default like every form of entertainment and this entire paragraph is pointless. Oh and it allows you to have mature discussions on forums about it which is an achievement on it's own.

The Beginner's Guide is a unique storytelling experience, very emotional and inspiring, yet simple in design and everyone will find his own meaning in it. Save your dignity and don't refund it after you are done with it. 8/10.

提示:

打开游戏前如果遇上info.txt is missing,尝试在启动设置上输入-language或者-windowed

(然而通关之后,我觉得这个bug是作者故意弄的)

游戏很短,90分钟走完流程,玩完之后感觉这玩意不是个游戏,是个实验

有没有一个时候,你遇到一个你认为孤独、无助的人,通过他不为人知的作品来倾诉自己的内心。
你想要帮助他,就公开了他的作品,让大家去声援他、鼓励他。
你觉得你是一个热心的、重要的人。
但他并不感激,他更加锁闭自己,至少在你看上去是这样的。
然后有一天你突然发现,你所做的这些只是为了证明自己在这世界上的存在。

如果你想要帮助的人,就是你的另一面自我呢?

这世界是繁冗无尽的迷宫。
也许根本就没有解开迷局的方法,但是抬头看。
能看到更加广袤、明亮的宇宙群星。

Si the beginner guide est un jeu qui n'en est pas un, il propose néanmoins un éclairage sur certains soucis que peuvent ressentir les créatifs et les êtres humains de manière générale. Au travers d'un narrateur qui vous parle d'un codeur ayant créé de multiples petits jeux, le jeu vous emmène sur une piste réflexive fort intense si tant est que le propos du jeu vous parle.

Bien sûr que le jeu n'a pas de gameplay ou très peu, il consiste simplement à marcher dans des niveaux fait sous moteur source, en écoutant les réflexions du narrateur. et il est très très cours (1h30) et n'a pas vraiment de rejouabilité. Cependant, je me permet tout de même de le recommander.

Je me sens touché par le propos, par la tristesse qui s'en dégage, par la confusion que le narateur installe dans votre esprit, vous laissant dans un état de perplexité à la fin de l'expérience, c'est suffisamment rare que pour que je le salue.

Ce développeur a du vivre des choses intenses qui se reflète dans the beginner's guide. D'ailleurs depuis ce jeu, il n'a pas fait grand chose, il y a probablement un rôle cathartique pour le Dev, et peu-être même pour vous.
Mais il n'a rien a proposé en terme de gameplay, ni n'a la folie de SP, pourtant il est fort, il est unique et mérite que vous le parcouriez si votre sensibilité/votre empathie est au moins a 5 sur l'échelle de pleureuse

When I first started playing this game I thought to myself; I cannot believe that I spent money on this I should have bought a different game instead, I hate this game. It seemed to be pretentious like it was trying to hard to have meaning it acutally did not have. I actually had to pause playing it for a little while and while I was not playing it I debated if I was even going to finish it or not. I figured I had already spent money on it, I had a little bit of time to kill, so why not?

. . . This game was one of the most meaningful, beautiful games I have ever played. The story that it tells is compelling and I saw a lot of myself in it. I even cried at the end. At one point of the game I was so immersed I paused when I got to one of the rooms, I couldn't press "w" for a few seconds as the room caught me off gaurd.

So, yes, The Beginner's Guide is well worth the price and I would highly recommend playing it. It explores a lot of the insecurities that a lot of us have in a beautiful narrative. I can't guarantee that it will affect you the same way it did me but I would highly suggest at least checking it out.

Starts out as a meta-fictional lesson on level design and becomes a very thoughtfully crafted, saddening and philosophical take on human interaction, perception of others within our society and a whole lot of other tought-provoking matters.

I loved it from start to finish and really hope to see more of this kind. Games are an art form and this is a prime example of it. It entertains, it provokes thought and it engages on an emotional level. Brilliantly done, worth every buck despite the short length of less than 90 minutes.

Whoa. Just what did i just play? I have had my share of mind messing games but this one takes the #1 position.

Not for everyone this title. If Dear Esther and similar walking simulators scratch you the wrong way then this game is even worse as it delves using small games deep into the psyche of a personality named 'Coda' (Fictious character? a real person? developer himself?)

In it's own class 10/10 game and unique one that puts the term 'artistic games' to the test. It even manages to make the previous title The Stanley Parable look very sane compared to this.

Nevertheless i liked the ride as the game beutifully visualizes with narration, that the line between genius and a madman is sometimes a extremely narrow line.

Это больше философия, чем игра. Здесь мы сталкиваемся с внутренним миром человека. Самым тайным и сокровенным от всех. Все равно, что прочесть чужой дневник или подглядеть в замочную скважину... Это больше чем игра. Это мысли и чувства, состояния, выраженные игрой. Это я бы сказала художественное произведение. Хорошая песня или картина или... игра... должна вызывать чувства, погружать в размышления, останавливать ход времени... Мое время в этой игре остановилось... Эта игра нам показывает не просто историю человека по имени Кода, а его внутренний мир. Потрясающая игра. Люблю всю серию. Хочу еще больше подобных игр.)))
P.S.
"Даже если в доме чисто, в жизни свей всегда есть что привести в порядок."
"Дом человека очень похож на его душу. Ты ухаживаешь за ним, а он заботится о тебе..."
"Но если будущее всегда позади, как она его встретит лицом к лицу?"
"Знаете ли вы коо-нибудь столь совершенного, что рядом с ним презираете себя? Рядом с которым чувствуете себя никчемными... Эгоистичными... Неблагодарными..."

The Beginner's Guide didn't deeply change me. It didn't fundamentally alter the way I look at games. It ultimately doesn't provide any life changing revelations that alter the way I perceive things.

In the end, what it let me do was: to think.


Take a moment, it won't take up too much of your time, and do me a favor.



Just think.









So...



What did you think about?

First off I'll let you know: this is NOT a game. Don't expect a goal or anything. It's an experience. An experience you might regret after discovering it, but still or even because of that it is brilliant. This so called "narrative video game" will leave you behind emotionally destroyed and thinking about what just happened and how to understand it. So if you love just to listen and to think and you don't mind getting Goose bumps of amazement, confusion and sadness... Then you should definitely buy this.

嘿,哥们,如果所有人都和你说你做的游戏烂透了,你还会坚持你的想法吗?如果你知道你设计的游戏永远都是默默无闻你还会坚持做游戏吗?或许这只是一本本应上锁封存的游戏开发日志,或许又真的是Coda和Davey之间的对话,又或许只是作者虚构出来的故事以此来讽刺业界的游戏制作者们?虽然真相不得而知,但是这款文字互动游戏用一个极其晦涩的过程向我们展示了Coda近几年的变化,一个关于Coda和Davey之间关系的故事

游戏的开头是一张CS的沙漠地图,但是却悬浮着许多木箱在空中;第二关的宇宙飞船也有许多bug:射完子弹不能换弹的枪械,没有敌人出现却给了你一把枪,一个复杂的迷宫,宇宙的底部是一块还没有贴图的模型,被激光杀死以后你就会向上不断漂浮直到看到宇宙的全貌

The Beginner's Guide 
Une capture d'écran de The Beginner's Guide
Par : 特大剑薪王奥利奥


这个游戏还有许许多多奇怪的关卡,就像是Coda的潜意识流一样,伴随着Coda的奇妙点子而诞生,例如那千奇百怪的监狱游戏就是最好的例子

Coad的游戏可以说是为自己的兴趣而制作,于是这些游戏通常都缺少了可玩性。但显然,Davey和Coda持有不同的意见,他很担心Coda这样制作游戏会让人提不起兴趣

The Beginner's Guide 
Une capture d'écran de The Beginner's Guide
Par : 特大剑薪王奥利奥


于是,矛盾点产生了。Coda是属于兴趣使然为自己的而制作游戏,而Davey则享受制作完游戏别人的赞叹和称赞。我想,大部分人可能都会像Davey一样,喜欢被别人赞誉自己作品的感觉,那是一种无法用语音来描述的满足感。可是对Coda而言,游戏是否有可玩性,是否有任何意义,都是不重要的,因为这是他遵照着自己的内心想法。所以才会设置那渐渐慢下来的梯子,才会设置那些在正常情况下永远不可能过关的谜题,才会在最后愤愤地给Davey留下那句我不想和你说话

Coda活得就像那些出世的隐士,不求名不求利,而Davey则有些世俗。所以站在Davey的角度来看问题的话,Davey只是想的是帮Coda一把,于是私自就把Coda的游戏交给信任的朋友们试玩,还修改了游戏中的某些数据,这让Coda感到很气愤。在游戏中其实可以看出Coda是一个不善于表达自我的人,他总是把内心的真实想法层层包裹起来,他不愿意把游戏展现给别人看也是出于此原因。就像一个好心却办了坏事的人,Davey在最后向Coda表达了歉意但已无济于事,或许那最后迷宫就象征了Coda内心的复杂想法吧

I'm surprised at how many reviewers seem to feel betrayed by this game, but I guess I shouldn't be. If you go into it expecting The Stanley Parable, that's not what you're going to get. The ony resemblance is that both The Beginner's Guide and The Stanley Parable are games about games and their relationship to their developers. To tell you more than that would be unfair, because the game is primarily about...finding out what the game is about. I will say that you need to be willing to open yourself emotionally to the story, because if you're not willing to do that you will indeed feel betrayed. If you are willing, then you'll find The Beginner's Guide to be a powerful and unexpected experience. As for the game being a walking simulator, it's only a walking simulator in the sense that a book is a reading simulator. The walk is how the story is told.

Up front, you absolutely should play the game blind your first time. No review reading. It's a 92 minute journey that has stuck with me every year since I played it.

I would also like to confess that I only recently purchased it for myself, having played it the first and only time from a pirated copy.
I purchased it via Humble Bundle, whom as of 9pm UTC-8, November 23rd 2020, is still selling Stanley Parable and Beginner's Guide for half price. If you want my recommendation, donate the rest to charity, but feel free to simply love the deal.

This game... Is a literal masterclass in character-driven storytelling. Even coming back years later, knowing some of the game's most beautiful and memorable setpieces were still rattling around in my mind, knowing the core drive to this day, it STILL hits just as strong, if not stronger as I've gotten older.

It's nothing short of one of the best products I've ever spent money on. I fully and completely encourage a playthrough of it.

Some people have argued that The Beginner's Guide is not a game since the player cannot lose. They are mistaken: I tried to understand The Beginner's Guide, and thereby lost at it.

Other people have argued that The Beginner's Guide is not a game since it is single-player only. They, too, are mistaken: The Beginner's Guide is a two-player game, in which Davey Wreden (playing in 2015) defeated me (playing in 2017.)

This is clearly a game. It is also a commentary upon games (including itself), a commentary upon game designers (including Wreden himself) and upon people who play games (including me.)

If you think this game wasn't made for people like you, let me assure you that you're mistaken. If you think this game was made for people like you, let me assure you that you're right, but not in the way that you think you are.

Play it.

While I can appreciate this game as a piece of art, it is tough for me to recommend it. While I did not hate it, I found the story did not resonate with me. This is a game that has a particular type of person that it speaks to, and I am not one of them. Don't let my review stop you from buying it. I would give it a go and see if it speaks to you. And it takes under 2 hours to beat so refund it if you want. I won't refund it because I really like what this game tries to do. It just does not work for me.

Viniendo de Stanley Parable, ya esperaba un juego fuera de lo habitual. Y así es, un juego que se sale de la norma habitual. Debo aplaudir al excelente guión que está tan bien narrado que cuela como una historia real. Que podría ser real pero a la vez no. La gracia es que puedes interpretarlo de muchísimas formas pero ante todo, consigue que el jugador se implique ♥♥♥ las emociones y sentimientos que surjen de la narración. A pesar de que el gameplay es sencillo y simplemente andas e interactuas ♥♥♥ lo que te van diciendo ( ♥♥♥ algun extra por intentar hacer algo de más o llevar la contraria por la costumbre de Stanley Parable, pero no hay mucho de eso en este), y aún así te engancha gracias al guión, el misterio y la curiosidad.

Un gran juego que te hace reflexionar y te hace pensar en diferentes cosas, sacandote del juego a la vez que vas viendo todo esto en como se va mostrando el juego. Es difícil de explicar, pasa como ♥♥♥ Stanley Parable, necesitas jugarlo para entenderlo.

Ante todo, es un juego para mentes abiertas, que quieran algo totalmente original y jugar algo diferente, que aporte algo y quiera mostrar algo al jugador. No hay objetivo más que el de avanzar para ver lo que quieren decirnos en la historia. Lo recomiendo a todos los que busquen esa experiencia diferente, a los que les gustó Stanley Parable (pero no espereis nada de humor o algo parecido a ese más que ese estilo caracteristico y diferente) y a todos aquellos que os gusten los videojuegos y su creación, ya que la trama gira bastante en torno también a la creación de videojuegos.

Los que busqueis un juego de tiros, algo convencional, algo que tenga poca narracion y mucho gameplay.. podriais haberos ahorrado leer todo lo anterior xD. En fin, otro juegazo que me ha sorprendido, ademas traducido también al español y del que lo único negativo que le saco es que es muy corto. Espero que nadie me ponga una farola ahora xD..

An absolutely fantastic game. It's short, but is so fascinating and at least for me, very tear jerking. What you get out of this little gem is not hours of gameplay, but rather thoughts and ideas that will continue to poke at you. Be warned, you should do your best to go in blind. Once you've experienced it for yourself you can read up on additional information and see how other people played it.

Oh, and the game isn't supposed to crash. I had that happen once during it. Just thought I'd make that clear so you don't immediately panic.

Great experience game....thought provoking, funny in places and sharp as a tack. IMO play without reading up on it / play without watching it / play without spoilers.

The standout for me was the well delivered narrative of the main character as he trys to apply literal meaning to a fellow developers increasingly bizarre, increasingly personal gaming projectsultimately harming a relationship and raising questions about whom has the greater issues with self, the main character or "Coda", although the story is open to some interpretation. A metaphor for the beginnings / development and eventual breakdown of a relationship perhaps, an insight into struggles with mental health, a comment on accepting others for all their "broken" qualitities as opposed to building a bridge over the labyrinth and fixing the problem.....a sincere apology. Only the developer could know the true meaning and truth be told one of the things that makes the game so special is applying your own personal interpretation to it.

If you can relate to that then yes, its a very touching game, well worth an hour and a half of your time.

Noone should read this review it's only for me.

This game is a trap.
It drew me in and of course I knew what to expect. It took me a couple of games but then I saw right through it. Oh it's about mental health. Ah yes the struggles of creating. Oh I am so smart. I see what this is trying to say. Yes yes! Ah yes social anxiety. Coda is an open book. Clearly he is lonely. I already know him basically.

And then it stabed me. It saw through me. My brain doesn't know what thread to follow. I am empty. There has to be something. There has to be more. Why would you make something if not to say somethong? And you push and push until there is meaning and all meaning it had gets lost. When was the last time someone talked about the joy of creating and actually meant it? Why not have a labyrinth?

And then...it just leaves you alone with your thoughts. Make of it what you want. Reflect...

This is art, a story you interact with but has a linear plot (i.e., no choices, no different endings). There is a plot twist, of course. It's interesting and sad, and definitely worth getting if you're into this kind of thing.

No, it's nothing like Stanley Parable.

여운이 가시지않은 상태에서 리뷰를 남겨봅니다.

아시다시피 이 게임은 스탠리패러블 제작자가 만들었습니다.
비슷한 경험을 즐기리라 생각하고 이 게임을 샀고, 플레이 했습니다.

그리고 마지막에 경험했습니다.

최대한 스포일러를 안하고 적으려해도, 경험했다 라는 말밖엔 꺼낼 게 없는 것 같습니다.
스탠리패러블을 충분히 즐겁게 플레이하셨다면 이 게임은 또다른 경험을 선사할 것 입니다.

Nem számítottam erre. Azt hittem ez is csak egy olyan "felesleges" játék lesz mint a többi amit pluszba megkapunk a Bundle-ben. (Humble Bundle)
Csodálatos játék. 9 euróért teljesen megéri,sőt muszáj megvenned ha teheted! Akkor is ha ez a játék 1.5 óra szórakozást nyújt,de olyat amit csak kevés játék.
A történet nagyon ütős,megható, főleg a vége.

这游戏我是跟史丹利一起买的
它们的作者也都是同一个人
但是对于这个游戏我只能说
它更像是一部“纪录片”,而不是一个“游戏”
剧情很不错,但可玩性只有一个词
Fxxk
所以虽然好评,但并不推荐购买
比起史丹利的古怪精灵,彩蛋不断,新手指导的基调更为沉重,叙述也更加线性单一。整个游戏就是伴随着davey旁白解说的Coda作品展。作为一个热衷prison题材的高冷cult制作者,Coda的作品简陋而孤冷,不在乎常人眼中的游戏评判和设计标准,而更多的追求走心,即使是抛弃游戏性也在所不辞。而Davey作为一个“入世”的作者,试图用自己的方法帮助Coda“走上正轨”。但最后,他发现自己看似好心的举动,实际上是对“indie”的一种粗暴的侵犯——不论是人格方面还是游戏方面的。而当他醒悟的时候,Coda已经放弃游戏的制作了。
整个游戏的主题十分明显:ordinary与indie间,互相尊重的必要性;indie的独特魅力,以及,indie真正含义的探讨。故事很连贯,也很富有探讨意义。但是这个游戏的本质只是在旁白的带领下进行参观展,没有神操作,没有彩蛋,有的游戏(如果你把它们叫做游戏的话)如果没有旁白的破解操作你甚至根本不可能通过。而且总流程并不长,也没有卡牌系统。所以除非你是真的对这类游戏感兴趣,不然很容易沦为喜加一。
PS:既然coda不喜欢别人对他的作品评头论足,davey仍执意把它的作品拿出来供人参观甚至上架出售——虽然davey说着各种道歉的话,其实他到头来仍然没有理解coda吧。
不过也幸亏davey是站在另外一头,我们才得以一窥特立独行的indie games的冰山一角。
毕竟,我们是“玩家”,而不止是“观众”啊。如果真的像coda一样不在乎可玩性,没还有davey这样的好基友,将他看起来简陋单调的作品包装上各种分析和情怀,描述引荐给大众的话
我觉得评测区多半差评,甚至特别差评都不稀奇

The Beginner's Guide is a narrow, guided first person exploration game (walking simulator to some, and I'm not going to argue in this case) where the narrator is supposedly showing you a series of incomplete games a friend of his made, and that is all I'm going to say, not just because of spoilers, but because the game is so bloody short that is literally like half the plot.

At first it seems a neat and creative, and suprisingly serious (if you've played the comedic satire that is the stanley parable, a FAR superior game) little 4th wall-breaking game that adresses the player directly, so much so that I was waiting for the game to get crazy or throw me a twist, but since it never does, the whole thing just felt kinda dumb. It did not connect emotionally with me at all. It goes for super depressing, but considering the subject matter, I felt it came off as whiny and pathetic. And clocking in at under 2 hours, it's not even worth the low price of 8 dollars.

Yo no llamaría a esto videojuego. Novela interactiva le viene mejor, me da miedo decir ahora que está tan de moda que es un juego de corte "indie", aunque hace 5 años nos hubiera servido perfectamente para describir a grandes rasgos The Beginner's Guide.

Si vienes a este juego sin pretensiones, no lo disfrutarás porque te de logros (que no tiene) ni por su larga duración (90 minutos y nuestro trabajo aquí ha terminado, 0 rejugabilidad), lo disfrutarás y lo recordarás ♥♥♥ cierto cariño porque es una bomba emocional.

Habla de la necesidad de sentirse importante, de la propia identidad, de gustar a los demás. Habla de sentirse solo, de odiarse a uno mismo y, por encima de todo lo demás, habla de prisiones. Literal y metafóricamente.


JUÉGALO SI...

Poco más que decir, juégalo si verías una película coreana subtitulada porque te han dicho que la factura técnica es impecable, si te acabaste el Dear Esther aunque fuera una soberana mierda pretenciosa (este es mucho mejor en todos los aspectos) y, sobre todo, si puedes entender una historia entre líneas en un juego sin argumento físico.

NO LO JUEGUES SI...

Si no te van las sutilezas, te aburre caminar todo el rato leyendo/escuchando, y en general el rollito pseudofilosófico no es lo tuyo, a por otro.

Before I get to my review, you need to play this game. My review hinges on the fact that you have played it and thought about it. If you decide to play the game, heed my advice:
- Even if you grow to hate the game as you play it for ANY reason, please stick through it until the end.
- Please don't refund it when you finish. I understand refunding a game when you hate it and don't want to finish it, but refunding a game you FINISH? That's just not fair.
- Understand that this is a 92 minute game that you will think about for the rest of your life.

After you have played this game, my actual review is below (with spoiler tags):
To be honest, this game may not have hit me as hard simply for the fact I didn't relate to the narrator the same way others did. A lot of the emotional strength of this game RELIES on that. Relies on wanting to see yourself in others. Wanting to find meaning in things where there are none, even at the cost of stretching the work itself to reach such a conclusion. It sadly doesn't work if you've never experienced these things.
I think that this game has very important meaning and messages, especially concerning those who try to read the author through their work. The narrator of the game who says you'll be playing through these games to learn more about Coda is the VILLAIN in the end. That in itself speaks volumes of how foolish it would be to repeat his actions.

Also, Coda isn't real. Davey is a fictional character based on the actual Davey. Interviews involving Davey show that plenty of the things he feels are the things you can see reflected in Coda's games. Especially the one involving the press. Given how Coda never wanted his games to be public, having one of his games revolve around the PRESS seems... odd, no? I do believe Davey truly had a falling out with a friend who inspired the events of this game, I do not believe that Davey ACTUALLY sold his friends games on Steam for 10 dollars. Davey is not ACTUALLY an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Please don't harass him.

I believe that the message of the game is to not read the author using their work, much like how Davey attempts to do with Coda. The same way the people who believe Coda to be real and Davey to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are reading too much about the author from their work alone. Not listening to what the game was trying to tell them.

this is how you make walking sims good.

not only, in my opinion, is it a tear jerking story of a friendship squandered, but also a deep examination into the mind of the creators friend.

weither this story be made up or real, buy this game and feel the story, dont let this one get away from you.
but get it on sale.

A fun and short psychological game with excellent story and surrealism.

It's more like an "Interactive Movie" than a game. A concept that I'm interested in seeing done more in the future, especially with Virtual Reality.

WoW!
Dieses Spiel beweist, dass Videospiele auch Kunst sind.

Durch die kürze des Spiels ist es schwer nichts zu verraten. Deswegen an dieser stelle eine Warnung an alle, die es noch nicht gespielt haben.
Es sei euch gesagt, dass dieses Spiel einen Kauf wert ist, wenn ihr auf der Suche „was anderem“ seid, was euch unterhält und eventuell zum Denken anregt.

Ab hier könnte euch etwas vorweg genommen werden, auch wenn ich versuche es nicht zu tun.

Die Entwickler von „The Stanley Parable“ haben mit diesem Spiel eine neue und auch ernstere Richtung eingeschlagen, die aber nicht weniger fesselnd und beeindruckend ist.
Der Schlüssel ist hierbei wieder die Einfachheit des Spiels. Es ist in „The Beginner´s Guide“ kein spielerisches Geschick gefragt und es ist auch nicht notwendig gut darin zu sein Rätsel zu lösen. Dieses Spiel funktioniert durch klare Anweisungen in sehr gradlinigen Leveln mit einer spannenden Geschichte.
Die Grafik ist eher schlicht gehalten und wirkt stellenweise als wäre es auf das nötigste reduziert oder eher nicht weiter verfeinert worden. Das aber stört nicht, da die Level eher kurz sind und trotz ihrer Einfachheit in Kombination mit der Geschichte wirklich ein tolles Gesamtbild abgeben.

Die Geschichte lässt meiner Meinung nach viel Raum für Interpretationen und Diskussionen, da ich glaube, dass man viele Elemente des Spiels auf verschiedene Arten sehen und verstehen kann.

Von mir gibt es eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Lust auf tiefgründigere Spiele haben, die vielleicht nicht dem Allgemeingeschmack entsprechen.

Mit freundlichen Grüße

고뇌하고 갈등하고 있는 창작자들을 위한 다큐멘터리

각자 이 게임에 대한 해석이 다르겠지만, 개인적으론 코다를 보면서 너무 마음이 아팠다
어쩌면 코다는 스탠리 패러블이 성공하기 전, 과거의 데이비를 형상화한 것이 아닐까?
물론, 게임은 플레이하는 사람들을 즐겁게 만들어야 평가도 좋고 잘 팔릴 것이다
하지만 나는 코다가 진심으로 만들고 싶었던 코다만의 게임들을 계속 보고싶다

This game....

Where do I even begin...

So, to say it shortly and sweet... Play this game. But beware the following points:

1-This game is personal, made by someone to a specific person.... which makes sense within the context. That's already pretty big of a spoiler, so i'll try to make it more vague from this point forward.

2-This product will not make you feel sad, it will make you feel bad, as in "violation of privacy". I feel like it's what the author means with it, and it delivers fantastically.

3- It has no replayability, it's a one time only. Maybe you can replay it after some time, but the full experience is achieved in the first run.

BUT, all the previous points considered, i'll tell you when and how I wrote this review:
Right after finishing it, with a tear in my eye.















Just... play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ marvel.

Это просто... Потрясающе. Я не знаю, как такое могло получиться, чтобы игра из просто рассказа про работу друга превратилась в настоящую драму. Я серьёзно, в конце игры я чуть не расплакался. Хоть она и длится лишь чуть больше часа, искренне советую её людям, которые в принципе любят игры.

You know, all this work goes into the game, why not make it playable and accessible?
How about some《The Beginner's Guide》







首先我想说的是,我非常非常非常喜欢《TBG》
如果作为《The Stanley Parable》DLC出现的话,这部作品基本是10/10,引人入胜的故事,令人会心一笑的小亮点,最后剧情的反转,都不时透露出《TSP》的风格,作者自白也与史丹利里的旁白有着许许多多的相似之处。

但是,作为一款单独发售的作品,虽然很便宜,但是我认为是值得讨论的,这也是我给不推荐的原因。
因为这不是一款适合大多数玩家的作品,也就是说,这算不上是一款游戏。

除了那少得可怜的操作之外,这基本就像是听DAVEY叔叔讲故事,虽然是一个很精彩的故事,但却并不能掩盖这款作品“缺乏”游戏性的事实。

如果你是一个轻度玩家,可以接受一部连续剧式的“游戏”(和小岛桑的电影化无关),或者你很喜爱这种充满作者自我风格的作品,又或者你自己就是一个游戏制作以及对游戏制作有一定兴趣的人的话,那就请无视前面这些文字,这确实是很优秀也很有趣的作品,你会在里面找到许多令人深思的东西。

但如果你是一个玩家,希望能玩到一款刺激又动脑的游戏的话,那恐怕你会失望了,这款作品并不适合你。

PS.其实作者的心境与许多人的心境都很类似,总觉得别人有多大的问题,过于主动地去纠正,乃至强迫别人,最后却发现有问题的,其实是自己。我就是这样一种人,SO....... ♥♥♥♥ YOU DAVEY!for letting me aware of that... now I'm sad... Just make more awesome game,Shut up and take my money.

While I certainly enjoyed "The Stanley Parable", I didn't celebrate it quite as much as others did, so I picked up "The Beginner's Guide" rather late. I had no idea what I signed up for.

It probably depends very heavily on your individual persona as to whether or not the narration succeeds in addressing the right regions of your brain, exposing the most vulnerable emotions and memories tucked away there. But in case it does, this might very well be the most emotional experience you ever had inside a videogame. It is also one of the brightest examples of an emotional stimulation exclusively possible via this medium, which sounds odd given the game does not ask for much player input at all.

I suggest playing through this in one sitting. Regardless of emotional impact, you will encounter a very clever walking simulator. On top of that, if you are lucky, you will be drawn into an unheard-of emotional ride leaving you restless for the day.

"и вот теперь я здесь", "О да, ВСЕ МЫ теперь здесь"

The Begginers Guide - проект, являющийся примером исповеди сквозь искусство.
Дэйви (рассказчик) с самого начала игры вводит нас в собственный нарратив. Мини-игры созданные его другом Кодой подвергаются повсеместной оценке со стороны нарратора Дэйви. Он описывает, интерпретирует, размышляет, но не вместе с нами, и даже не с самим Кодой, а с самим собой. Цель Дэйви - познать Коду сквозь призму его творений, однако путаница состояла в том, что чем больше он углубляется в творчество Коды - тем сильнее он утопал в мире собственного видения и нерешенного хаоса, что царит внутри него самого, рассказчика.
А Кода мертв. Кода - Демиург, творец, что неустанно плодит сущее в виде игр, безусловно испытывая чувства, но все они остаются в пределах Коды, будучи известны лишь ему. То, что видит Дэйви - это фикция подлинности. Дэйви видит зеркало, подобно тесту Роршаха, где каждый лицезрит тот образ, что присущ его психике. Благо для нас с Дэйви - игра пышна на общий символизм, который каждый способен толковать, в зависимости от устройства души.
Проект целится обучить игрока тому, что сквозь творение невозможно постичь замысел, уж тем более, личность автора. Если и судить, то лишь отталкиваясь от собственного кредо, судить лишь о творении продолжая плодить сущее, но уже в роли рассказчика, продолжая в своем толковании самих себя.

Это хрупкое творение также задевает те перипетии, что присущи любому творцу в виде творческого выгорания, страха критики, принятия себя, стремление быть преданным СОБСТВЕННЫМ желаниям, вместо следования восклицаниям публики. Всё стандартно. Однако как искусно облачает автор эти идеи в форму, чего стоят бесчисленные тюремные камеры , или как насчет рефлексии коуча, который едва сдерживается, дабы не улететь в черную дыру самобичевания посреди лекционного зала . Насколько остро, а порой по черному иронично.
Однако Дэйви разрушает. Разрушает всё. Он не даёт игроку думать. Он показывает игры коды своим друзьям, меняет ход игр Коды с помощью кода (простите за тавтологию), заменяя изначально "неиграбельную" задумку в играбельную, как прокаженный следуя вперед. И в своей забвенной спешке он теряет и иссушает того, кого так стремился познать.
Благо для себя, Дэйви, познает себя сквозь Коду, в конце - освобождаясь.

А мой отзыв - всего-лишь облачко текста в огромной комнате с мириадами аналогичных мысленных облачек иных игроков. Облачко, которое спешит поведать о чем-то важном лишь для самой себя.
В идеале этого отзыва не должно быть, ибо, как уже стало ясно-мы разрушаем, когда даем оценку.

ものづくりをする人とそれを取り巻く人々との関係、というなかなかアプローチしにくい題材を多様な演出を用いて表現している。一見伝わりにくい様な表現であるにも関わらず、それに対して不思議と共感や教訓を得る事ができるのがこの作品の魅力。

ものづくりという観点だけではない普遍的なものも示唆されているため、何かを作る立場ではない人でもこの作品から受け取れるものがあるのではないかと思う。というよりも、むしろそういう人ほど遊ぶべきなのかもしれない。

シナリオもなかなか面白い物になっているが、むしろ演出面が秀でており、場面転換は切れ味あり様々な光の見せかたも美しい。前作 The Stanley Parable もそうだったように、ただ演出を堪能するだけでも十分だと思います。

The Beginner's Guide starts as a story, narrated by the game creator Davey Wreden himself, about the games created by a fellow developer named Coda: this narrative slowly turns into an heartfelt tale about game development, society, dreams, creativity and what ultimately makes us who we are.
What follows is a walking simulator that, thanks to a strong narrative and surreal level design, will easily capture your attention with its nice visuals while challenging you to reflect on the story you're listening to.

PROS:

-great art and gorgeous, surreal level design

-extremely nice minimalistic soundtrack

-great narrative backed by an excellent use of symbols and metaphors

-I personally found it quite emotionally engaging, even downright moving at times

-lots of food for thought

♥♥♥♥:

-the value of the game is all in its message and narrative, if you don't care about them there's no gameplay to be found and the gorgeous vistas won't simply be enough

-the narrative can sometimes feel a bit too direct or pretentious

-quite short at 1,5 hours

The Beginner's Guide 
Une capture d'écran de The Beginner's Guide
Par : stranger1982


The Beginner's Guide was a truly emotional journey for me, what started as an interesting voyage inside a developer's mind slowly turned into a reflection over the creative process, over how being recognized and connecting with others can help or hinder our identity, over how willingness can at times be a dry spring and a multitude other things.

Levels vary from interesting to awe-inspiring and the muted soundtrack helps create a truly surreal experience, one that helps making you feel as if you're traveling through not only someone's work but also their mind.

The true strength of The Beginner's Guide is not the fact that it feels like a metaphor in motion, nor how well its story describes Wreden's train of thought though, but how said story and thoughts can be sometimes be a mirror in which we see ourselves.

I consider The Beginner's Guide an essential purchase to be honest, but I can also easily see how this is a very divisive game: if you are ok with walking simulators, want a great, surreal narrative and desire food for thought then I urge you to experience it. And if you are in any way an artist and/ or familiar with the creative process I feel you'd absolutely experience this story as it'll surely touch you and make you think about what you do.

Не веря собственной судьбе,
Зарыться, спрятаться во теме,
Забиться в угол и рыдать,
И тихим голосом звать мать...

Когда речь заходит о чём то абстрактном, я представляю себе крышу, возвышающегося над ночным мегаполисом, небоскрёба, у которого есть мост... ведущий на обычную улицу моего города. Эта игра - совокупность подобных абстрактных, философских зарисовок, небольшой длинны, но с глубоким смыслом. Я не знаю, правдива ли история, рассказывающаяся нам, но она определённо трогает и заставляет переживать.

Эта игра даёт мотивацию задуматься... просто задуматься. Длинною всего в 2 часа, она даёт отклик в твоё подсознание больше, чем любой ААА проект на сегодняшний день. Очень жаль, что она такая короткая, но некоторые зарисовки, к примеру "Заметки", останутся в моей памяти надолго.

10 артхауса из 10

P.S. Спойлер:В последней главе есть интересная вещь - это просьба разработчика этих зарисовок не изменять его игры, посредством добавления фонарей. Хотя диктор - разработчик этого каталога игр - говорит, что Кодок сам начал добавлять фонари. Может быть это один и тот же человек?..

The beginners guide offers a unique expierence and statement on game development. It shows the struggle a gamedeveloper can go through. It's not always fun, it can be verry stressfull and lonely. Don't expect this to be a game, its more of a interactive narrative. As a gamedeveloper i was verry interested and curious while playing, but my guessing is, this is alot less interesting for normal gamers. And even though i enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone just for the expierence, i would say pick this up while its on sale, it's not worth it otherwise.

Что остается когда пройден пик?
The Beginner's guide - это игра крайне необычная, аналог которой найти крайне тяжело. Она очень хорошо держит до последнего шикарную интригу на тему заложенного в неё смысла. Я был крайне рад переосмыслить все уровни в игре и понять истинный смысл всего происходящего, после прохождения последней "игры" Коги. В момент, как начинают играть титры - ты осознаешь истинную задумку автора и что он хотел тебе сказать. Ты сидишь, вспоминаешь первые уровни, и приходит тихое осознание "Так вот, что это все значило..." Это тот редкий случай, когда игра действительно трогает за душу и рассказывает серьезную, и на мой взгляд, крайне востребованную на сегодняшний день, историю. Так как все мы стремимся оставить свой след в в жизни.
Плюсы
- Актуальный и востребованный на сегодняшний день сюжет
- Крайне креативные уровни и запоминающиеся уровни
- Уникальный стиль
- Крайне хорошая озвучка и прописанный монолог
- Шикарнейшее звуковое сопровождение, которое идеально дополняет сюжетно важные моменты игры
Минусы
- Игра очень короткая и проходиться довольно быстро
Стоит ли игра своих денег?
Я без сомнений могу сказать, что да! Игра крайне душевная и заставляет о многом подумать после того, как ты её проходишь. В нашем регионе она стоит 249 рублей (цена на момент написания отзыва), и я считаю, что это даже как-то дешево для такой хорошей игры. В очередной раз я убеждаюсь, что Дэви Риден, который также ответственен за The Stanley Parable - талантливый и не обычный геемдев.

I had no need to buy this game, i played it through family share, and yet i bought it, without a sale, i didn't care, maybe i'll regret paying 12$ for this later, but right now i don't care.

I bought the game, and i'm giving a review not to say it is good or the opposite, but because i have a single question for Davey, if this game, if it's story is real, if Coda is real

are you both doing alright now?

it sounds stupid, out of reach, blind even, maybe naive but i just hope you know i thank the both of you for this. And i thank you my friend for telling me to play this, i don't think you understand how much this game means to me now, you can laugh or cringe at me later lmao, but thank you

"Please, say something..."

"The Beginner's Guide" - это больше, чем просто игра.

Маленькие осколки сознания отдельно взятого человека, соединив которые мы получаем цельную картину. Какую? Для каждого это личное, сколько людей, столько и толкований. Мы живем, меняемся и вместе с этим меняются наши взгляды на жизнь. Кому-то обязательно нужно человеческое общество для того, чтобы чувствовать себя полноценным, а кому-то приятнее находится в одиночестве и совершенно не зависеть от мнения толпы. К какой стороне вы относите себя? Опять же - личное.

Игра не имеет четких границ и все повествование строится на образах, которые можно толковать по разному в зависимости от того, насколько близко для вас состояние создателя множества маленьких новелл (А ведь вся игра из них состоит). За два с лишним часа вы переберете всю свою жизнь на составляющие, взгляните по новому на привычный мир и задумаетесь: Может быть давно пора сказать то, что хочется сказать? Может пора поставить точку там, где никак не решался это сделать?

Выше всяких оценок, такое нельзя пропускать.

For R.

人生是一个随手做的小游戏里的垃圾迷宫,浪费时间、没有逻辑、充满BUG、没有什么值得期待的东西在结局等你。

干嘛做这些游戏?做游戏能治愈人吗?这话就和试图通过写作来拯救自己一样滑稽。

做游戏拯救不了任何人,游戏就是游戏,把计算机里的数据当成现实的投射能带来什么?你的问题只会越来越多,就像游戏里的BUG,BUG永远存在。

想着这些,我对着游戏的BUG流出眼泪。

很多人说这不是个游戏,但去他妈的,这是个好游戏。

Una de las experiencias mas raras que puedas llegar a ¿Jugar? una narrativa sorprendente y ♥♥♥ un climax que la verdad te da que pensar nada mas acabarlo. Ojo es una especie de metajuego sobre "Davey Wreden" y alguien que "conoce" llamado Coda. Durante casi dos horas estaras jugando a los minijuegos mas raros que seguramente hayas jugado nunca. Cada uno expresando pensamientos a veces bizarros.

I absolutely loved this.

Can't say too much about it, as I think even a premise of what "happens" would be spoiler-ish, but if a first-person journey into the troubled mind of a game developer manifested via a series of short narrated "video games" sounds like something that would interest you, absolutely check this out.

It's difficult for me to say something to the effect of "OMG go out and buy this immediately" simply because I know that The Beginner's Guide isn't something that everyone will enjoy. It's less of a "game" than even something like Gone Home or Dear Esther. But like those games, it uses the medium of video games to tell a story in a way that is infinitely more effective than it would be in any other medium. And The Beginner's Guide's story is as effective as they come. I hope to see more things like this in the future.

If you even think that you would possibly enjoy this, you probably will. I highly recommend this.

第一次通的时候我也很受触动。但是后来看解读视频的时候不对劲。
narrator渐渐的把自己的主观意愿加入游戏,误导玩家他所认为的Coda便是真正的Coda,不惜在他的游戏中随意修改,使之变得更“合理”。这份虚假的合理越来越偏离作者本身的意图。最后的结局也表达了作者对这种做法厌恶的态度,否定了“通过作品读人”这种做法的合理性,因为这会很容易导致与现实不符的一厢情愿。那么应该做到的就是“对事不对人”的点到为止。当然,游戏中的narrator不仅在过解读,还在修改Coda的作品,倘若之前的误读现象只会引人不快的话,后者就是僭越了,是一种对作者的不尊重。考虑到作者因Stanley的成功倍感压力,同时收到了非常非常多他人做出的自己都不知道的“合理解读”,已经感觉自己的作品“不属于”自己,也就知道这个游戏的主题了。(这里我也做了一些“通过作品读人”的僭越)
至少以上这个我觉得是明确表达的,除此以外里面也混杂着一些小小的讽刺和比喻。比如拆掉外墙的房间和跳跃谜题的对比表现的是游戏中一种表面和结构的”复杂“和”简单“;以及我印象很深的这句话:
”有些游戏不是看它缺什么,而是看它是什么“。
假如这类步行模拟类游戏也要去拿所谓的”游戏性“给他做评价的话,就相当于责怪为什么鲁迅不去写科幻,马克思为什么不去写小说了。而且,”游戏性“到底指什么呢?是策略的深度,交互的多样,激励机制,还是是结构的设计?仅以”游戏性“去衡量一个游戏的好坏,类似于宣布只有故事紧张刺激反转超多的电影才能称得上好电影,是盲人摸象的行为。单一的评价维度早已无法全面的反映游戏的好坏,新的形式在不断出现,尤以独立游戏为重。步行模拟类游戏完成了对游戏性的解构,反映出传统的游戏性概念并非游戏所必需。对于这类游戏,原有的媒体评分制,还是以”游戏性“作为唯一维度,都不适用了,这些原本是针对产品的评价体系,而游戏现在正在成为”作品“。
”我向Coda询问有没有具有可玩性的游戏,然后收到了几百个只有白色方块的可运行程序,我尝试了每一个,想在其中去找到彩蛋,但是都没有“,最好的回击。

真的是一部致郁的作品,游戏性并不高,但是胜在意识流作品大都引人沉思。

不知道为什么雪中的玻璃房让我觉得难以形容的美。简陋、粗糙、色彩也非常的单调,但是就莫名的让我感到宁静和愉悦。打扫家务也深深的吸引了我,以至于不得不离开时我竟感到不舍,在玩完后仍惦记着去可爱的房子里和自己对话。然而我在现实生活中坚决的痛恨做家务,也很难如此轻易的从中享受到满足和快乐。
还有一点打动我的是创作。一间充满自己想法的屋子,一个没有指针的站台 ,一口没有出路的井...这些都提醒着我,作为一个同样无比厌恶自我的人,创作是释放、安慰自己的良药。也许也是唯一的出路。自我厌恶会加速沦陷于自己的幻想世界里,同时也会时刻跳脱出来,周而复始的践踏着自己的不完美。唯有创作,会随时间一起流动,一起释然。


总而言之如果心情不好的时候就不要玩这个游戏,并不会开心反而会开始进行浪费时间的思考(是的,我刚才说的都是些废话)如果只是为无聊的的日子增加点什么,那其实也算不错的选择。完全不知道应不应该推荐,但是不讨厌就是了。

(有没有什么游戏可以在里面收拾家务、打扫卫生什么的,求推荐。不用真的累到半死, 但是又可以获得整洁,焕然一新的美好体验................emmmmmmm..........我还是去打扫下我的卧室吧 QAQ)

이 게임을 플레이하며 정말 많은 위로와 영감을 받았습니다.

게임이란 무엇인가? 무엇이 게임이 될 수 있는가?
게임에서 어떤 것들을 표현하고 말 할 수 있는가?

그간 제가 너무 좁게 생각하고 있었던 것 같습니다.
게임 제작자라면 반드시 플레이해야 할 게임으로 추천합니다.

とあるクリエイターのゲーム制作の軌跡を辿る作品

最後までプレイすると実はとてもしょうもない話だと分かるが ミニマルなストーリーは芸術的な作品群ととてもマッチしていて、このゲームの世界観に引き込まれる造りになっている。

今なら非公式だが日本語化もあるので、『Stanley Parable』が面白かった、アートとかよく知らないけど分かった気になりたい人におすすめ。

EVERYONE should play this game, no matter who, where, how you are, you should, this game covers so many in-depth things that involves human emotion and validation. I can't say in the end you can feel that validation, but you can learn from this game that it isn't about that validation from others but it's about the time and effort you put into whatever it is that you do. Say you make a game and post it, and some internet troll comes along and mocks it, just think "can they make a better game than this" AND even if they can just think "YOU KNOW WHAT, this is my work and i'm proud of it", AS YOU SHOULD. Even if you don't take anything away from this review/comment I hope you can take away this, no matter what others think, do or say, everyone can do something, doesn't matter if it's the greatest thing, but it's FREAKIN SOMETHING.

Few games have stuck with me as much as this, and few games are as creatively daring. Effectively utilising a "House of Leaves" like layered narrative in a way I've not previously come across in a game, The Beginner's Guide examines the need for social validation at its extremes, here in the context of the games developer and the player. Throughout it feels like a deeply personal work from its creator (whoever that may be!), and at times you almost feel like you're actually trespassing on someone else's personal space (just as the narrator is doing to Coda). Like Davey Wredon's previous "The Stanley Parable", The Beginner's Guide pushes the boundaries of what a game can be in adopting storytelling techniques not commonly seen in games. It's probably not for everyone, but at this point if it does sound even remotely like your thing - then it probably is, and I can't recommend it enough.

This game changed my life. This game helped me realize my own struggles in life- which, surprisingly, were quite opposite to the struggle between Coda and Davey. Davey was unhappy with who he was. He had no direction, no drive, he felt as though he was going nowhere. And when he met Coda, and walked through his mind in the form of his games, he felt as though Coda was the same, and he took solace in the idea that he was not alone in how he felt. He saw how alone, how empty Coda's games were, and he attached himself to it. He saw how Coda built prisons of which there was seemingly no escape from, and stupidly drew the conclusion that Coda felt as though he was locked in his own mind, and wanted to break free. And so he invaded the private space that Coda had created for himself. He thought he was giving Coda the companionship he believed he needed. He thought that with Coda by his side, he could break the cycle. He could help someone. He could amount to something in this desolate, silent scream that is this world.

But none of that was true.

As it turns out, Coda never needed help. Coda constructed all of these mental prisons, all of these cells that he would be trapped in, alone in, not because he wanted to break the cycle of loneliness, but because in the loneliness, he was truly at peace. And when Davey invaded Coda's mind, when he started exposing Coda's deepest thoughts and feelings to the world in pursuit of validation, he broke the peace. He destroyed Coda's mind. Coda had given Davey, and only Davey, a glimpse into his mind, and Davey invaded and sabotaged all of it. Not just all of it, but all of the motivation, work, and determination that went into it. After such a monumental mistake, I do not blame Coda for going dark. Do I believe Davey was wrong to show off Coda's games? Yes, I do. Do I blame him for doing so? Absolutely not. Because in the end, he only wanted what we all desire.

A purpose.
An affirmation that he belongs in this world.
When you lead a life of no direction, tell me, would you not be seduced by any opportunity to have that life mean something? To have something to look forward to?
I am all too familiar with that feeling. And what makes this feeling so powerful is that no matter your fears, no matter your ideas of what the future may turn out to be, it is a feeling we all share. It is the very thing that makes us human.

Me? I am terrified of being forgotten. I crave so desperately to leave my mark on the world. I want to make an impact, a record of my existence so significant that future generations can look back on it and say "Wow, this person really existed. They were alive. They struggled through so many hardships, and somehow, they still managed to come out on top, to fight a life that tried so desperately to keep them down and survive long enough to make their life mean something." And you know what? After seeing Davey's struggle, the struggle of having no goal, no drive, no nothing, I am certain of one thing:

I don't want to end up like him. I will grab life by the neck, look it in the eye and tell it that without purpose, it's existence is meaningless.

And then, I will give it a purpose.

This game feels like a piece of modern art. The abstract visuals and limited sound design give the game a eerie vibe. But in combination with the narration and the story that the game is telling you it makes you feel things that you can't really explain. Beautiful game.

The vanguard of video games surpassing the big triple A of the industry with an astonishing greatness.

The diverse and creative design of levels create a compelling, intriguing, experimental, deep and profound sense of amazement, as hard as it gets these days.

An spectacular journey through the emotions of the human being, one which one can surely relate to.

Congratulations to all the creators of this gorgeous experience.

Это не просто игра, а необычайно атмосферное повествование, вживаясь в которое, невольно чувствуешь широкий спектр эмоций от радостного веселья до глубокой тоски. Это не просто игра, а целый внутренний мир двух людей (или одного человека?), их судьбы, чувства, мысли, переживания. Задайтесь вопросом: а много ли в моей жизни людей, которых я могу читать словно открытую книгу? Я считаю, что это потрясающий опыт не только игровой, но и жизненный. Для меня это подлинное современное искусство, которое неподдельно отражает человеческую душу.

Вердикт: 10 из 10 баллов.

This is by far, the most emotional game I have ever played.

It's brilliant.

But I do not recommend playing it purely out of the principle of what it is, and what it achieves.
It's comparable to reading a stranger's diary.
Play this if you have an open mind. If you have empathy, and can be objective as well as subjective - and REALIZE that - at the same time.

I will never forget this.

Потрясающе! Сыграть в неё - получить психологическую помощь. О, эта игра задаёт много, очень много вопросов. Про одиночество, заложенное в нас изначально и, с которым вести одинокую борьбу всю жизнь. Про потологические закомплексованность и не уверенность в себе, сидящее в каждом из нас и являющееся нормой. Про очевидную простоту решения этих "мелочных" проблем души - искренность, в первую очередь с самим собой и не бояться идти с лёгкостью на контакт, (в) ОБЩЕНИЯ ДРУГ С ДРУГОМ. И в то же время, не преодолимая, просто таки стена, возведённая из этих "маленьких" кирпичиков. Вроде в нас - человеках, есть всё необходимое для по настоящему хорошего, мирного, благотворного существования в этом мире, но что-то, когда-то и где-то пошло ни так - был сбой. Теперь всё настолько нарушилось, что наша жизнь представляется лабиринтом, из которого на первый взгляд нет выхода. Но он есть, обязательно есть, и необходимо трудиться, чтобы найти его, работать в первую очередь над собой. Потрясающая игра. Спасибо авторам, вы сделали маленький шаг для исправления ситуации.

A very short game where you go through several maps created with the Source engine, listen to the narrator and occasionally interact with the environments which seem quite surreal.

First it’s about things associated with game developing. Then it’s about solitude, depression. Finally about friendships, your own outlook on life, and perceiving other people’s motives. No ground-breaking discoveries there, but it might get you wondering a bit anyway.

It’s definitely not as clever and polished as The Stanley Parable, but it can serve as a nice introduction to it. Also, the topics are much broader here, although the overall take is much less optimistic, forget about funny.

I’d recommend it if you’re into psychology area, gaming development or plan to play the great Stanley Parable at some point. 6/10

This is not a game in its known way. I would describe it as a documentary through various small games about a person we know little about and try to understand during the game. It can be quite scary at times, quite beautiful and worrying, which makes the narrators actions more understandable.
It is a big "mind♥♥♥♥" and should be played in one go, since the entire game is connected, its not something you play a bit of and then stop for a month - no.
You have to play this in one or two days maximum, since its only about an hour long this is possible.

It will make you think about yourself, the narrator and the developer of the games you´ll play.
Just a great "game", nothing like I´ve ever seen before

Honestly, this game just doesn't do it for me. I wanted to like the game, I really did. Despite the game having some strong points (which I won't delve into, to avoid spoilers), while playing it, I tried to come up with a compelling reason not to refund it, and I couldn't. I loved The Stanley Parable, but this is completely different. There is no replayability, no secret endings, no special rooms, no real puzzles, it's just a story.

That's not a bad thing either, as my collection of TellTale games attests to, I love a good interactive story. But that's the thing, this is just a story. It's not interactive. It's hand fed to you directly from the narrator. Sure, you're pressing buttons to do things, but none of it really matters. It doens't help that, in the end, I just really didn't like the story.

As UnseenGalaxy noted in the comments section, the game wasn't meant for my entertainment. It was made to reach out to the developers friend. But since I'm not that developers friend, I don't really feel a compelling reason to pay for the privalege of being a voyeur to their relational delemma.

I hate to click the "no" button under recommendation, because obviously a ton of people love it, but I have to. My justification is this; If I could talk to my former self an hour ago, I'd tell myself not to bother, the game isn't for me.

In my situation, most of the negative reviews list the very reasons I don't like the game. I only gave it a chance because of the "Very Positive" user reviews (and I loved Stanley Parable). So, my recommendation to you? If the positive reviews really strike a chorde in your heart, and you just know you have to try the game out, then please do, I'm "Very Positive" that you will like it.

If you, like me, reading the other negative reviews feel that the game probably just isn't for you, then trust me, it's not.

I think what makes this game stand out to me, as a player, is that I would occasionally have the same urges as the narrator. Where he would accelerate your movement, construct bridges, and remove walls to further each game's completion, I would often find myself deliberately fighting his suggestions (for instance, walking slowly when he's offered to speed it up.) He's polluting the "games" with his thirst for completion and meaning (with complementary witty, dry, and often misguided commentary,) and I'm trying to break it in my own way. This fact really helps the game hit-home at the end.

tl;dr
Lots of meta-analysis and very intimate game. Makes you ponder.

日本語化MODが在ります。クオリティも高いです、製作してくれた方々に感謝!

The Stanley Palableの作者さんが作ったゲームということで大いに期待している人も多いかもしれませんが、スタンリーが楽しめたからと言ってThe Beginner's Guideが楽しめるとは限りません。
全てが謎のままプレイしたほうが楽しめるのでしょうが、敢えて私はゲームとしての本作の進め方を少し書きます。

基本的にこのゲームでは言われた通り、書いてある通りに一本道を進むことになります。道中に多少広く様々なルートで進めるように見えるところ、ちょっとした会話の選択肢等がありますが、基本的に行き着くところは同じになります。
上記のような点がスタンリーとは大きく違います。故に私にはこのゲームがピンと来ませんでした。飽き性と言われてしまえばそれまでなのですが、以前Dear Estherをプレイした時も同じような感覚でした。ゲームとして雰囲気を味わいながら歩くだけというのが面白いと思えないのです(嫌いだとまでは言いませんが)。同じように考える人もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか?
ストーリー要素に不満はありません。登場人物に直接関わる世界を歩くことになるため、感情移入もしやすいと思います。

マイナス評価をつけたのはただ私が途中で歩くのに飽きてしまっただけというのが正直な所です。途中のチャプターで大量に調べられるものがある所があり、そこらへんで力尽きた気がします。
もちろん私とは逆に雰囲気重視ゲーが好きだという人には文句なしのゲームになることは間違いないと思います。

Это просто замечательная игра. Не знаю, выдуман ли сюжет или нет, но даже если и выдуман, то все равно он просто великолепен. Не надо ждать от этой игры какого-то глубокого сюжета с неожиданными поворотами (хотя я за два часа дважды координально поменял свое мнение о главном персонаже), интерсного геймплея. От этой игры вообще не надо ждать игры в том виде, в каком вы ее привыкли видеть (если, конечно, вообще привыкли). От этой игры также не надо ждать комичности и вариативности Stanley parable. The Beginner's Guide - это необыкновенная история, в которую за два часа успеваешь погрузиться очень глубоко. При условии, что видеоигры для вас имеют большое значение, и вы готовы послушать историю про одного их создателя. Собственно, больше рассказать и нечего, так как игра короткая. Но как говорится, краткость - сестра таланта, и данная игра как раз иллюстрирует этот случай. Однозначно рекомендую.

Compuesto por un total de 17 capítulos más un epílogo, esta historia (que comienza como un documental sobre la obra de Coda, un diseñador de videojuegos) nos lleva en un viaje introspectivo a través de las interpretaciones de un admirador (narrador de la historia) y amigo de Coda. Nos invita a jugar todos los videojuegos creados por Coda (en el orden en que fueron creados). Mientras nos revela sus opiniones y pensamientos, desnudando de esta forma, sus obsesiones y ambiciones más íntimas, las cuales resultaban incluso invisibles para él.

Este videojuego hace gala de las principales virtudes que tienen, justamente, los videojuegos. Como jugador, tienes un rol, que no te lo otorga el juego, no interpretas a ningún personaje. Tampoco te comportas como un mero espectador. Eres parte. El juego funcionará para ti, resultará como la experiencia mágica que es, unicamente, al existir la disposición de participar en él, a comportarte como el juego espera que te comportes (aunque tu participación no afecte en nada). Tu misión es lisa y llanamente, hacer lo que te piden, escuchar un relato, entender que no estás frente a una historia común y que no debes intentar darle una explicación a todo, el juego no está hecho para eso (el arte no está hecho para eso), por eso es una experiencia mágica, no intentes entenderlo completamente o dejará de ser un maravilloso videojuego para convertirse en un videojuego mediocre.

La motivación del creador es bastante clara, es una crítica a las críticas y su corrosión hacia los creadores, impidiendoles hacer lo que les gusta por hacer lo que les gusta al resto, acompañado de una lección: juega los juegos como vengan, sin más preámbulos, sin tanto análisis. Pero este mensaje es francamente irrelevante, el juego es tan profundo que el mensaje lo eliges tu mismo. El mensaje que encontrarás será el que tú estés buscando en el momento en que lo juegues.

Este juego me inspiró una sencilla reflexión, tan profunda e introspectiva como el mismo juego:

Cuando un rayo amenaza ♥♥♥ destruir el mundo, tal como lo conoces, y sabes que cualquier persona puede lanzarse hacia él utilizando su cuerpo para detenerlo ¿Quién estaría dispuesto a hacer el sacrificio? ¿Quién estaría dispuesto a concluir ♥♥♥ su historia para que continúen las del resto? Para la mayoría sería una difícil decisión reducida a dos posibilidades: Sacrificarse o esperar a que se sacrifique otro.

En mi caso, tomar la decisión sería más sencillo. Me sacrificaría pero, no sin antes hacerme una pregunta: ¿Qué pasará luego de lanzarme? Cuyas respuestas son dos nuevas posibilidades: Me lanzaré al rayo y moriré o me lanzaré al rayo y viviré para siempre.

This game will surprise you, perhaps disturb you in a very intimate way, to tell a unhappy but artistic story

Me vais a perdonar que me ajuste mis gafas de pasta y os diga que Beggine's guide es una especie de fábula en la que el autor recapacita sobre la creación de videojuegos, sobre su mensaje y sobre su finalidad. No es nada técnico, son reflexiones más filosóficas que prácticas. Y a raíz de eso la charla profundiza en el comportamiento humano y como percibimos nuestro éxito o el de los demás. Es de esos recorridos que al final te dejan un poso interesante en el que pensar. El capítulo 11, 'la charla', es simplemente acojonante en su concepto. El de 'La máquina' otro tanto. Verdaderas joyas. Y el final, aunque predecible, me ha hecho sentir algo especial. Vamos, que esta obra me ha calado.

Resumen corto: 'Beginner's Guide' es una obra para reflexionar, no un videojuego al uso. No puedo recomendarlo a cualquiera. Pero a mí me ha encantado, así que lo recomiendo. ¿Para ti sería una buena compra? No lo sé. Es un 'paseo virtual' ♥♥♥ reflexión de fondo. Lo que pasa es que la reflexión me ha parecido tremenda, de esas que tardas en digerir y te cuestionan cosas que tú tenías como muy claras.

Así que si tienes dudas mejor pasa de él y espera a pillarlo en un Bundle. A mí no me culpes. De hecho si el Chemo de hace un par de años me llega a preguntar si le recomiendo este juego le diría que no. Pero he cambiado bastante desde que salí de la XBOX360.

Recuerdo que cuando era más joven me daba rabia la gente incapaz de comprender que los comics podían ser algo tan serio como las novelas. Tuvo que llegar 'Maus' y dejar las cosas claras. Pero entonces vino la corriente contraria: la gente que se quejaba de que los comics se hacían demasiado profundos temiendo que todo acabara siendo de 'gafapastas'. Gente que consideraba que los comics tendrían que ser pura evasión. ♥♥♥ el tiempo hemos visto que hay comics para todo el mundo y que una cosa no excluye la otra. A veces me apetece ver sangre y acción y otras me apetece leer algo más denso. Como en el cine, como en la música, como en todos los géneros del arte.

Los videojuegos han tardado más tiempo en llegar a esa revolución porque son más jóvenes que el comic, pero están llegando. Y confieso, sin vergüenza, que he sido hasta hace poco de los que defendían a capa y espada el 'si no se juega no es un videojuego'. Pero al final me han convencido. Los videojuegos no solo son para jugar. Algunos están hechos para pensar y sentir. ¿El videojuego puede ser arte? Sí. ¿Y eso tiene que gustarte? No necesariamente.

Beggine's Guide es un claro ejemplo de como se usa un videojuego para reflexionar sobre temas serios. Confieso que no esperaba que me enganchase nada y sin embargo no pude despegarme de la pantalla en las dos horas que dura. Y se me han pasado volando. Aún no he jugado al 'Stanley Parable' pero ahora sí que le tengo verdaderas ganas.

2022.12.28更新(将会涉及剧透,建议玩完后再来观看此评论)
自从通关后这个作品给我的震撼仍然很大,让我迟迟没法忘怀。
我很难说他是一款游戏,或者艺术,倒不是他配不上这两个称号,而是他更多已经超越了这两个概念。
大卫在这里充当了一个暴力的模样:他试图去抓住一种理性的、合乎正常常理的解释,即coda是有病的,是有问题的,不正常的,疯癫的——因为他的游戏所传达出来的便是一种抑郁孤独的荒谬。因而,某种使命感,或者说责任感冲上了大卫的脑子——我要拯救他,我要帮助他回到正常,我要用我这种健康正常的对游戏的理解去覆盖掉coda现在的想法(因为他的想法是不健康的)。
但这样做到最后,我们都看到了——一道又一道的铁门被撬开,一行又一行的代码被修改,呈现在我们面前的不是理性的正常,心智的健康,而是一个被他干碎到千疮百孔的心。
因而,coda离开了大卫,离开了大卫强加给他的暴力。
我在这里并不想过多的解读coda在游戏想呈现出来的想法是什么,又或者是不是真的:因为我没法去抓住那样的想法和现实,他是一个抓不到的东西,尝试去抓住它只会像大卫那样想要抓住那三个点的意义一样没有结果;而是——他的游戏给我带来了什么感受,什么想法,什么欲望,以及经历了什么,面对了什么,看到了什么。
大卫尝试作为一个老师,一个家长去理解coda的游戏,但问题是每个人经历的不同对于这样作品的解读也不一样,更何况这更多是(虽然不全是,但很明显就像写文章一样,我在写我的感受,而且我不想发表出来但却想拿出来和部分朋友分享交流的类似的感受)coda自己给自己做的游戏,所以在给别人看的时候必然会产生分歧——就像有的人觉得椰树牌椰汁好喝有的人觉得不好喝一样,又或者像有的人觉得白色应该浅一点有的人觉得应该深一点一样,我们只能通过作者的一些信息来帮助我们面对他的游戏,而不能通过游戏来认识作者,但很明显大卫在这里则通过自己对游戏的理解强加到他认识的作者上,而且还想帮他恢复他所认为的“正常”。
但问题是,我们在这里只能面对他的游戏,而不是作者,因为通过这样的东西认识作者我们只能认识到我们觉得的作者而不是作者本身,因为在这里又没什么罗兰巴特口中的零度写作——作者早都不再了,剩下的只有我和他的游戏:我不可能随便乱联想,因为我面对的是他的游戏;而他也不可能在我,或者这款游戏里出现,因为我面对的只是他的游戏。
而当大卫通过自己理解的正常去理解coda的游戏从而去认识coda的时候,便一切都变了:他怎么这么抑郁啊!这么不正常啊!我要帮助他!
但这只会激起coda的恶心。
于是,便有了最后一幕荒谬的场景:coda离开了大卫。
大卫以为自己在帮他,没想到最后coda却离开了他,于是自己便猛然一下想到:这是谁啊?为什么他不接受我的好意?(强加的好意)
因为这一切的一切已经脱离了大卫的认知,颠覆了大卫的做法,使大卫的想法从根上彻底崩塌了——最后,只留下一个孤零零的空壳,一个什么都抓不到的空壳。

那就走吧,不带走一点留念。

Antes de entrar en la discusión de si es un juego o no tengo que admitir que a mi me gustan los walking simulator. Prefiero un juego corto que me cuente una historia interesante que horas de repetir las mismas acciones por la manida excusa de hacer de recadero de alguien.

El juego te cuenta la historia de la relación del diseñador ♥♥♥ otro creador de juegos y como evoluciona. El primero intenta analizar al segundo a través de sus juegos y como se obsesiona, intentando hacerle ver lo buenos y originales que son sus juegos. Es una forma diferente de comunicación que te hace ver los juegos de otra manera.

La creación de juegos cada vez más completos y complejos. Como aficionado al diseño de juegos me ha parecido un buen viaje y me ha merecido la pena, soy un gran fan del tema y un seguidor incondicional de iniciativas como Extra Credits: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCODtTcd5M1JavPCOr_Uydg

El juego me ha salido muy barato y por eso la hora y media que le he dedicado no me ha sabido a poco, si te interesa la creación de juegos y el porqué detrás de ellos creo que te merece la pena.

A game with not much to do but walk, interact and listen. Depending on the person it can be a boring walking sim, a conduit for deep philosophical thought or anywhere in between. Like other games that invariably get put in the category of "games as art" it left me feeling both speechless and with too much to say. It drives the player to find deeper meaning but also points out the futility doing so. Games of this category, like a painting or musical melody, aren't explicit in their intentions other than to evoke a reaction, so it's difficult to describe as good or bad, but i'd say it was definitely worth the experience.

!!!WARNING!!!
Для некоторых может показаться очень сложной для понимания
Не рекомендуется детям младше 16-ти лет и тем, кто не может быстро читать субтитры (они там с нормальной скоростью)
Очень,очень, ну просто Очень хорошая игра. 12/10
Для тех, кто устал бегать и стрелять, и хочет просто отдохнуть от активного геймплея.
Для тех, кому надоел банальный сюжет и деревянные персонажи.
Для тех, кто хочет пищу для размышления и хочет погрузиться в эту атмосферу с головой.
Рекомендую, не пожалеете! 12/10 Перфекто

2个小时,就像看一部电影一样
好像很难说清楚“这部电影”讲了一个什么故事,不过似乎也不需要说清楚。比起故事,更打动我的是里面的情绪成分。从最开始游戏小品中的诙谐,到游戏制作者越来越强烈的野心和沟通的欲望,到自我囚禁和批判,以及最后的反转,就像曲径通幽,引人入胜。
我最喜欢的一部分是风雪夜的山中别墅,那个npc一直叫你帮忙doing housework,抻抻床单,摆摆桌子,擦擦浴缸,和你谈谈心,再叫你把盘子洗了——这不就是婚后你的另一半干出来的事情吗。窗外是大雪纷飞,窗内红泥小炉,配合上温馨的音乐,这部分让我有了家的感觉。在这之前,旁白桑给我的印象是,游戏制作者的内心是越来越孤独,越来越渴望speak的。这是他(她?)第一部涉及“和别人谈话”的游戏。怎么说,我觉得那个家伙多多少少渴望家里有一个和他耳鬓厮磨的家伙和他谈心,偶尔使唤他做一下家务吧。

If you haven't felt like Coda, than this game is probably not for you. If you have or you know someone who has, you can feel the pain and struggles every second you play the game.

一开始于我而言,写评测只是一项消遣,还能顺便学习一下别人的作品。但写得越来越多后,初心总会变,我越来越看重自己写下的文字,绞尽脑汁地为其增添一点灵魂,努力让其成为个人的印照。但是我个人水平摆在那里,这些文字不应该也成为现实中浑浑噩噩的我的翻版。

为了改变这一点,我就像是游戏里的Davey一样,不停地去玩游戏,尝试用题海战术来了解Coda这个人。没有共鸣的时候,就只能强迫用自己的想法,来给每一个玩过的游戏定性,让模糊的我在笔下的评测中成为实体。可无论我怎么做,我也能感觉到我所面对的Coda总是深不可测,我越是尝试接触,就越是为自己的无知觉得痛苦。

这样做很累,就像努力维持一种不平衡的恋爱关系。玩游戏从来不是玩家作为上风,双方都是需要平等的认可和交流的。

说着“喜欢游戏”的我,也要追求在以后成为Coda,而不只是作为无数Davey的一个。

Go play Stanley Parable first.

In a similar vein, this isn't a game so much as an interactive musing about the nature of video games (and art in general). Unlike Stanley Parable, this doesn't even really attempt to be enjoyable so much as to directly challenge the way you think.

And it is challenging. Not in game difficulty (it's a walking simulator) but in that it requires you to really try to interpret the experience in order to appreciate it.

СПОЙЛЕРОВ НЕТ, не беспокойтесь

The Beginner's Guide это как артхаус в мире компьютерных игр. Это интерактивное повествование на тему творчества и создания, личных переживаний и еще кучи других вещей. Как и в артаусе, каждый может вытащить из произведения какой-то свой смысл, какую-то идею, важную мысль.

Похожа ли она хоть как-то на Stanley parable? — разве что наличием расказчика и управлением. В остальном Begginer's guide очень личная история, которую каждый интерпретирует как захочет. Своих двух сотен рублей (в кино дороже сходить) игра стоит на все сто процентов. Просто не завышайте свои ожидания, и приходите с открытым разумом

Руководство для начинающих.
Для Коды.

Это чуткое, эмоциональное, депрессивное и философское путешествие по недрам человеческого разума, изучающее его проблемы, идущее под руку с великолепным саундтреком, вовремя дергающим за ниточки.



Ваше путешествие не займёт слишком много времени, но принесёт больше эмоций по его окончанию, чем любая другая игра. Это может быть как злость, так и глубочайшее сожаление.

От Дейви.
Прости меня.

This is easily experienced in an afternoon, but tells a full story. Where most stories give you a "Happily ever after..." this one leaves you feeling almost... hollow... and betrayed. Usually when someone says that in the first couple of sentences for a review, you tend to steer clear of it. I tell everyone to play this. If I have someone at my place and we have an amount of time, I'll show this to them if they find interest in this type of storytelling.
I can tell you, right now, the design; the storytelling, is brilliant. Everything about this, plays perfectly into the story. This game sparks several philosophical questions in the player as they carry on through each of the maps. This game tells a very human story which I feel like most people can relate to or have experienced in their lifetimes. The Narrator builds up Coda's work, while the overall design of each maps and experience makes him feel extremely relatable. You experience may things at once, such as the Narrator's sense of loss, and Coda's pain. It's an amazing journey I think everyone should experience, at least once.

Interesting game.
The narrative, by virtue of it's very being, simply demands that you experience this without any pre-existing knowledge of its subject matter. So, i will honor that by not writing anything else about this game except to simply say that it is worth experiencing as long as you go in willing to simply absorb what it has to offer.
Definitely worth your time.

If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, it would be appreciated. Cheers. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32549618/

Final Verdict: It's Brilliant!

This is in essence a narrative-driven walking simulator. If you don't like walking simulators, I doubt this will appeal to you unless you enjoy the themes in the narrative. If you're expecting something comical or quirky, like The Stanley Parable, then you'll also be disappointed. The overarching theme can get quite dark at times. The themes touched upon are game development, creativity, artistry, modifying art, thinking differently and from different perspectives, mental health, curiosity, depression, loneliness, introvertedness, the need for validation and/or human connection, and the urge to fix things and be the hero and/or co-dependency. The themes you derive may be different and may change upon subsequent playthroughs.

The game is pushed forward by a narrator explaining the games of a certain so-called recluse or introverted developer. From this perspective you get an insight into game development and the idea that games are personal to the creator. That you can go inside the mind of the creator by playing the game, in essence, reading the developer's mind or even looking within their soul by exploring their works. But is our narrator reliable? Can you also get inside the mind of the player by hearing their perspective / interpretation of the artist's work?

In essence, this is a philosophical discussion. There is no right or wrong answer and the details don't matter much. Maybe the narrator is reliable and maybe he isn't. Perhaps this is a true story or perhaps none of it ever happened. However, the concepts are presented in an interesting, enthralling manner. It gives you much to think about after playing the game.

Rate 8.5/10. Does my score really matter? It really doesn't. But the main reason that I can't rate this game higher is because there are other walking simulators that I enjoyed more such as What Remains of Edith Finch? Still, it's brilliant in its own right, so just buy it!

p.s. Game took me about 1.5 hours to complete

The Beguinner's Guide, es la prueba palpable de como los videojuegos pueden contar historias como ningun otro medio puede.

Es un juego que te pone en medio de dos personas que nunca llegaron a entenderse. Una historia de descubrimiento personal. Una carta desesperada a un amigo.

Una obra intima y personal que trata sobre la admiración, el respeto, la creatividad, la amistad y el espacio personal.

No es para todo el mundo, eso esta claro. Pero es imprescindible para cualquiera que entienda este medio como algo mas que una manera de pasar el rato.

Что делает вас настоящим художником, создателем миров, кузнецом образов и мыслей? Тот факт, что все больше и больше людей погружаются в ваши произведения и видят в них нечто уникальное, нечто, находящее отклик в их умах? И так ли это важно, чтобы произведение искусства (или интерактивное произведение искусства, если хотите) было обязательно услышано, увидено, оценено кем-то по ту сторону монитора? The Beginner's Guide оставляет так много вопросов открытыми, столько мыслей остаются невыраженными, за каждой сценой и в каждом отрезке этого путешествия вглубь истоков творчества скрывается чудовищное внутреннее напряжение, через каждый неказистый уровень на Source проходят тысячи сомнений, тысячи мучений. Наверное, каждому художнику (создателю, творцу) действительно приходится погружаться в кромешный ад, из которого выходит на свет (или не выходит, остается навсегда незаконченным/неувиденным) нечто новое, как родившийся ребенок. И как изменишься ты, как именится твое отношение к твоему творению, если какие-нибудь летсплееры, знакомые, знакомые знакомых, начнут наперебой обсуждать, ругать, хвалить, каким-либо образом оценивать, с чем-то сравнивать, определять жанровые признаки твоих игр? Так вот, игра как раз об этом. И не так уж важно кто такой этот Кода (и есть ли у него прообраз в окружении автора, или может ли быть что это сам автор до релиза The Stanley Parable, принесшей ему мировую известность, блаблабла). Кода - это образ того самого Создателя, в творения которого вы и врываетесь без разрешения. Вы не видите его, не слышите и никогда его не встретите. Слышите же вы только того самого Ридена, едва знакомого с Кодой, и его попытки обьяснить, осмыслить эти игры.

Итог же таков: НЕ рекомендую эту игру поклонникам "Притчи о Стэнли" (специально для вас в Steam завезли бесплатную Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist от другого создателя всё той же игры), рекомендую же ценителям авторских игр без особой претензии на гениальность, но с хорошим бэкграундом и минималистичным дизайном. Одна из главных авторских игр года, определенно.

Gioco semplicemente MERAVIGLIOSO. Anzi, chiamarlo gioco è davvero riduttivo. E' qualcosa di unico, terribilmente intenso e coinvolgente... almeno per chi è capace di giudicarlo e goderselo senza pregiudizi di alcun tipo. Non è un gioco per tutti, che sia chiaro, ma ciò non toglie che sappia arricchire e lasciare davvero una traccia come poche altre produzioni videoludiche contemporanee. Da provare. Assolutamente.

It is one of a kind. I came into it knowing nothing about it other than it was by a co-creator of The Stanley Parable and let me say, it shocked me. It is one of the better walking sims out there. A lovely story, a lovely game. Pick it up, buy it. If you haven't watched any of it, that is the best way to experience it.

This game felt more like art that gives you a deep emotional connection to it. I imagine this is how people felt when they would consume the first oil paintings or see marble statues for the first time. I'm leaving feeling sad, and feel like a know a person who made video games. Your art is beautiful, Thanks Koda.

I enjoy "walking simulators" because they bridge the gap of narrative storttelling between video games and literature/cinema. Most other games fail to convey meaningful themes or motifs, and a good bunch can't even create a compelling world with engaging characters or plots.

But games like "Gone Home" and "The Beginner's Guide" are given the freedom to do what other genres fail to do since the gameplay is near non existent.

However, for me personally, there is a big difference between a game like "Gone Home" and "The Beginner's Guide" and that is the story they choose to tell and how it's told.

Where "Gone Home"'s narrative is simple and it's themes universally understood, "The Beginner's Guide" tackles an unorthodox story which hits home in many ways but fails in others.

The biggest strengths of the game include the soundtrack, narration style and tone. As previously stated, the plot is unique. A programmer creates a multitude of "unfinished" games and the narrator (the creator of this and "The Stanely Parable") reveals his interpretations of said games.

However, the way the interpretations are delivered is very heavyhanded and it soon becomes obvious he is making his views clear to reincorporate them in the final act of the story. Although I didn't see the ending coming (and as a whole the ending was satisfying and thought provoking on how we view art and how interpretations are formed), it left me with a bad taste in my mouth when I realised his interpretations were only given for reincorporations sake, which would be fine if it wasn't so blatant.

The story arcs allow for tonal shifts, and the change to dark, depressing worlds created by the programmer alongside the haunting score allow the player to form their own opinion on the state of the programmer.

In conclusion, although I can't say I loved or even liked the game, I appreciate its existence and can admire the aspects it gets right. Like many movies I may not enjoy, I recommend this due to how interpretation heavy the game is. One person may find the themes more powerful than I and the game allows for that to happen. It is a shame it didn't quite click with me but I hope it does for others.

*SPOILERS*


I enjoyed the story, but the one thing that I am really struggling with is that Coda literally broke off his friendship with Davey because he shared his games with a FEW other people. Now, Davey is essentially SELLING Coda's games without his permission. I am really struggling with that. It just seems really unethical to me. Can anyone clear any of this up, or at least add something to it? I hope that I am wrong and someone can educate me on this a little more.

Vždycky jsem rád psal povídky. Byl to způsob, jak se odreagovat od skutečného světa a odběhnout do svého zcela vymyšleného, kde neexistují problémy, jimž tu musím čelit. Pokud ale odhlédnete od pravopisné stránky a více se začtete do textu, zjistíte, že tu také naleznete kus mé osobnosti. Odhalíte to, co jsem považoval za důležité, na čem mi nezáleželo a také můj tehdejší náhled na svět kolem. Čím jsem byl starší, tím byly i dospělejší mé povídky a já nakonec přestal psát. A pak jsem poznal ji. Úžasnou blondýnku, se kterou byla radost komunikovat a díky které jsem se opět vrhl na psaní. Potřeboval jsem dostat na papír své pocity. Jenže, jak už to tak bývá, nic netrvá věčně a nepohodli jsme se, ona se se mnou přestala bavit a od té doby jsem už nikdy nic nenapsal. Od té doby jsem dost často v depresích. A stále doufám, že mě jednoho dne odpustí a budeme opět přáteli. A já pak možná začnu opět psát.

Ehm. Dobře. Někteří z vás si teď říkají, co má sakra ten text nahoře společného s touhle hrou. Možná nic, možná vše, možná něco málo. Především zapomeňte na to, že by tohle byla hra. Spíše by se to dalo popsat jako filozoficko-psychologické interaktivní drama. Máte 18 levelů, kterými procházíte a postupně odkrýváte to, co se honilo autorovi hlavou při jejich tvorbě a proč s tím vlastně přestal (podobně jako jsem psal výše o sobě). A to je vše.

Není hra jako hra
Dobře, není to jen prosté nudné procházení. Provádíte tu interakci s prostředím, dokonce tu je i pár rozhovorů a k tomu všemu tu hraje pohodová hudba. Grafika je samozřejmě nic moc, ale o tu tady ani nejde. Každý další level je lepší než ten předchozí a nutno podotknout, že všechny jsou originální a nabízí zajímavé myšlenky. Pokud tedy máte rádi filozofii a přemýšlení nad určitými věcmi, tahle hra je přesně pro vás. Nabízí tolik zajímavých otázek, že i já musím po dohrání přemýšlet nad jejich odpověďmi.

Je tu i příběh, který se táhne celou hrou a díky němuž se tahle hra dostává někam zcela jinam. Tvůrce The Stanley Parable vypráví, jak znal téměř tři roky člověka jménem Coda. Popisuje budování jejich přátelství i to, jak se tato zvláštní osoba chovala (a postupem času i měnila) a ukazuje vám jeho hříčky. K tomu všemu si přičtěte i to, že sám autor zde není pouze vypravěčem, který by nudným monotónním hlasem četl scénář, ale také aktivně zasahuje do dění a je jeho součástí, tudíž tu je ke konci opravdu vypjatá atmosféra a ty emoce! Ty emoce!!!

Otázka ohledně ceny
Vzhledem k tomu, že celá hra je silně lineární a zaměřená na příběh (kdy ke konci atmosféra houstne, až budete zírat), musí být každému jasné, že to bude kratší. A ono to fakt je. Hru lze dohrát zhruba za hodinu a půl s tím, že někteří jedinci si ji můžou chtít zahrát podruhé, protože příběh je tu opravdu zajímavý.

Pokud se podíváte na cenu, zjistíte ale, že vůbec neodpovídá délce hry! Uznávám, že devět euro je opravdu moc, pokud by cena byla o polovinu nižší, šla by o dost lépe obhájit. Já sám hru koupil za sedm euro a jsem spokojený, protože občas prostě tak unikátní zážitek dokáže vyrovnat větší cenu. Beru to tak, že u této „hry“ jsem se ani jednou během těch 100 minut nenudil a vždy jsem byl napjatý, co se stane dál. Jinak ale chápu, že vám cena může připadat přemrštěná, takže si počkejte na slevu aspoň těch 33%.

Odvrácená strana osobnosti
Kromě ceny tu je ale i pár dalších problémů. Jedním z těch nejvíce bijících do očí je absence češtiny. Textu tu je celkem dost, protože vypravěč mluví a mluví. Naštěstí jsem se rozhodl vytvořit český překlad, na který naleznete odkaz dole.

Dalším zjevným záporem je nemožnost ukládat hru. Zpočátku si toho ani nevšimnete, levely jsou krátké a tato věc vám začne vadit až u posledních tří. Ty jsou delší a nemile mě překvapilo, když jsem musel vypnout hru a po jejím opětovném načtení jsem zjistil, že budu muset začít u jednoho levelu od začátku.

A poslední vadou na kráse je občasné velké zahlcení textem. To máte tak, když na vás mluví vypravěč a v tu stejnou dobu běží určitý dialog s nějakou postavou z právě hrané hry. Nevíte, čemu se máte věnovat dřív. Naštěstí tam tento problém byl pouze 3x.

Plusy
+ originální nápad
+ perfektní dabing a styl vyprávění
+ krásně doplňující hudba
+ každá z 18 her je jiná a originální a nabízí určité zajímavé nápady
+ příběh a jeho vývoj
+ opravdu hodně zajímavých myšlenek a otázek
+ čeština

Mínusy
- poměr délka/cena hry
- není to hra, ale spíš interaktivní příběh
- absence ukládání
- občas zbytečné zahlcení informacemi

Konečný verdikt
Mé hodnocení: 9,5/10

Pokud čekáte akční nářez, tohle není pro vás. Je to pro lidi, kteří se dokážou vcítit do pocitů druhých, kteří se umí zamyslet nad určitými filozofickými otázkami a v neposlední řadě není na škodu, pokud jste také někdy něco vytvářeli a zanechali v té práci kus své osobnosti. Protože jak uvidíte, někdy jsou vaše výtvory krásnou ukázkou toho, co se vám honí v hlavě a jací ve skutečnosti jste.

二刷了本作,看到先前的评测不免感到十分愚蠢遂删之。
重新落笔依然不知从何谈起。

剧透和毫无说服力的长篇废话预警

这部作品某种意义上让我想起《悲惨世界》,第一次读到那本书还是初中,后来高三,大二的时候各重刷了一边,每次的感触是截然不同的,换到这里亦然,不过没有读书笔记(笑)。
当初听闻Stanley Parable作者出了新作,发售第二天就买下体验,那可能也是个清晨,记不清了。一样是个讲故事的步行模拟,90分钟的体验后却并没有多回想,草草点了赞,一副饱受启发而不明所以的状态,转身就甚至忘记了剧情。
再次点开已逾20个月,观影(可以这么说吧)过程中却因为一夜没睡着感到心脏阵阵抽搐。简述一下剧情,不存在的,这游戏不能讲剧本。

我们提取几个关键词,第一个是“审问”。
游戏中主人公Cody对自己的审问,对他人的攻击倾向我好像再熟悉不过,可能我自己更甚?(笑)我一边假装漠不关心,一边期待着会有什么转机和新发展,然并没有,Cody最终放弃了他所热爱的事业,消失在人们的视野中。我以为这种结局于我是不健康的:我正站在悬崖的边缘对着天空大喊大叫,而这游戏告诉我前一个站在这里的人已经跳了下去,这必然是我不愿看到的。于是我转而关注了作者,也即故事讲述着的视角。

第二个关键词是“友情”。
作者以一个朋友的视角叙述了整个故事,但却不是第三人称视角。他在解读Cody的游戏过程中加入了个人情感和猜测,并在最后称自己很后悔一开始告诉别人Cody fell depressed, rather than he likes prison games。我们很清楚这无非是一种心理安慰,自己想要大力帮助却最终被拒之门外,无力感的缓冲剂。作者和Cody的关系让我感到一丝失落,而我出于对这种单方面关怀的嫉妒之心,对这个结局报以了恶意的愉悦感。有时我会想,如果当初自己世界观没有经过如此多恶意的洗礼,会像现在这样吗?我不知道,但我已经演了这么久,我大抵还会继续演下去,带着可爱的面具,演一个邪恶而自利的人。

第三个关键词是“无力感”。
我当然可以哭诉一下社会不公和生命悲惨,但谁都不想看到这种喜闻乐见的剧本。在游戏的其中一章,Cody在低谷期作品中自问自答到“These drains my energy”,我脑中突然弹出了公鸭Drake的《Energy》一曲,四个月前的一个午后我坐在家里的电脑前背了许久歌词,低靡的旋律让人昏沉欲睡。我不会知道是否人人如此,但自己曾狂热喜爱的事物突然反过来榨干自己,显然不是什么友好的体验,而我已经是个人干了。我再一次试图寻找一个答案,然而并没有,正如先前所言,Cody就这么跳了下去,一并拒绝了所有的关怀,我又失败了,真是无力啊(笑)。

那么这是一个好游戏吗?
作为一个讲故事的游戏,它自然是优秀的,他讲了一个或许很贴近受众生活的故事,同时把步行模拟这种轻量级的操作方式融入到叙述中,避开了游戏性本身的问题,以只有约90分钟的流程,在近9k评测中最终拿到了86%+的好评。

这个故事如何呢?
如上文所说,这是一个“或许很贴近生活”的故事,“或许”能和一部分玩家产生共鸣,但那些玩家应该不是我。我在前文的扯皮中营造了一种自己被“触动”的假象,但这些所谓的虚假思考在夜幕已经进行过太多次,我能做的也只是试图寻找答案而已——当然并没有。所以要总结的话我大概会说,这是个好故事,它提醒我,我在刀尖上演着坏人,而我不喜欢这个演出的结局。

这大概是一篇动态向的评测,对游戏本身大抵不会有任何参考价值,只是稍微吐出了一些堵着的东西,算是写给自己的吧。

愿世间不再有伤害。

I-I'm not crying! There's just a lot of stuff in my eyes! Okay, in all honesty, I loved this game. It was truly well done, and gave me an ending that made me run to my bathroom and grab tissues. Definitly, a feels game. I came into this game being like "Oh yeah! Let's get into this!" But by the end of it I was bawling. This is definitly a must play game. Have fun playing!

A great experience. The game, or games are up to your own interpretation so it's hard to give a "traditional" review. Nonetheless I recommend the game but don't expect any serious gameplay, it's not about that. If I have to draw a comparison it's halfway between a walking simulator and a visual novel.

The less said, the better.

This is a 90 minute experience, a deep insight in reflections of a creative mind where meta-textual links are inevitably drawn between artistic frustrations and how we are perceived by others.

It crashed my soul for the remainder of the day.

The Beginner’s Guide is similar to The Stanley Parable, in that it’s more about games and the people who make them, than being a game itself. But the tone it goes for is very different from The Stanley Parable. This isn’t a comedy, not in the least. It aims higher, exploring the audience’s relation to art, and the artists themselves, with complete sincerity.

This has a narrower appeal than The Stanley Parable, but will hit harder and resonate more with the people who get it. I loved it. But because the game is more “arty”, and more personal than The Stanley Parable it’s impossible to tell whether you will too. It’s well executed, with good acting, writing and excellent music. No complaints as far as production values go.

The Stanley Parable had plenty of branching paths and endings, and was about that. The Beginner’s Guide on the other hand is linear, and builds toward a single end with more power, with a clear unambiguous message. Did I like it more? I don't know! It's so different they almost can't be compared, even if they're made in the same engine, by the same people, with the same method of telling it's story. All I can say for sure is I absolutely recommend it.

Wow, was ein Spiel!
Ich habe es gerade beendet...
Wer mal zwischendurch ein ruhiges Spiel spielen möchte,
etwas nachdenken möchte und offen für neues ist, kann sich das Spiel wirklich mal anschauen.
Ich möchte gar nicht mehr schreiben um nicht zu spoilern - das würde alles verderben.

Achso 1 noch:
Ich habe das Spiel auf HumbleBundle gekauft.
In einem Bundle. Gekostet hat es mich nur ca. 0,30 €.
Und dafür war es einfach nur genial.

Mein Verbesserungsvorschlag:
Deutscher Untertitel.

No voy a hacer un análisis convencional, porque un exceso de palabrería estropearía todo lo que se plantea en The Beginner's Guide, y además es hacer un flaco favor a quien no lo haya jugado. Simplemente comentar que si jugásteis The Stanley Parable y os gustó, el autor definitivamente se consagra en la realización de proyectos diferentes, muy intimistas, y ♥♥♥ una comunicación y un mensaje inyectado directamente en vena al jugador.

Evidentemente no es un juego para todo el mundo, pero cuál lo es... Eso sí, pocas veces un juego me ha pillado tan a contrapié. Si alguna vez, entre las chorradas futiles que suelto, tuvistéis algo de consideración en lo que recomiendo: jugadlo. Sobretodo si, insisto, os gustó Stanley.

Ahora sólo me queda reflexionar sobre él...

Bu oyunu uzun süredir istiyordum ve sonunda aldım.Stanley Parable çok mükemmel oyundu ve bu yüzden yapımcısına ayrı bir saygım var bende böyle bir yapımcının ikinci oyununu görünce heycanlandım ve direk indirimde aldım.Yine olduğunu gibi oyun mükemmeldi o duygusallık,atmosfer tam anlamıyla mükemmeldi 10 üzerinden 10 direk kesin net.Şunuda belirtmek isterim bu oyunu oynarken çok gerildim sanki herhan bir şey fırlayıcakmış gibi hissetim korkunçtu :D xd

Прекрасная игра о том что человек пытается искать смысл абсолютно везде где есть хоть небольшие намёки на философию и фантамасгорию,и как правило весь смысл додумывает сам зритель арт-объекта.То что в него вкладывал автор,даже делая это просто так,ничего не задумывая,для себя,мы всё равно будем искать смысл или что-то додумывать.

A game where you begin to understand others. A game where you understand you don't understand others. In a modern day and age in which video games give you a task or tell you to kill something, this game doesn't. We as human things cannot and will not understand the real idea of a goal. For some, it's completeing a task, for others it's creating a task in which it cannot be completed. No review or lets player could ever experience this game for you. This game is an insite of the mind, it really explains the thought of The Stanley Parable. It gives a bigger meaning to Davey Wreden's The Stanley Parable, when you play the game you will understand the idea of never completing Davey's other game...

I'm a writer, it's what I do. I write horror stories, I exploit the emotions I think of to their extremes, I write happy stories... Everything... But, of all my horror stories, of all the fears that I've made, that I've written... This is... I can't have written this, and now I'm scared, because this is the first time I've been given something that I find truly horrifying... It feels like this is everything my writting has led up to, everything, and Davey's written it for me and now I feel scared that I've been a monster. I'm going out to find some friends that I've done this to, and I'm going to make sure.

Thanks Davey, I mean it. This is something I hope I haven't done before, and I'm on a tear to find out.

Game where you feel cringe of being in a middle of an argument between two people in a toxic relationship. One reads too much into things and another acts like a schizophrenic. What makes it unusual that it is a real argument between two people and you only get to see the work of one person and hear the thoughts of another. I never experienced anything as odd as this and in the words of Andy Warhol "I sometimes find something beautiful just because it looks different in some way from the other things around it".

Natural conclusion is around the question of whom you support between Davey and Coda? Personally I like Davey even though he reminds me in my first romantic relationship, where after breaking up, I couldn't just move on for years. I sincerely hope that Davey will find a new inspiration or feeling of purpose that would not torture him but cherish him. Davey's enthusiasm is infectious and I would love to more know about his thoughts and his projects. He make an impression of a person with whom I would love to have a coffee chat about some surreal stories.

Overall, I hope that Davey's next game would allow us to explore his mind! :)

I still feel a mix of being both emotionally charged and emotionally drained. If you like games that make you feel something, then you will like this. Don't look up anything more about the game until you have finished it. You need to experience it as something completely new and unknown. It will only take you about an hour and a half to complete, but I have a feeling it will stay with you indefinitely, so I don't consider it a short game for that reason.

It's very different from the Stanley Parable, but if I didn't know it was made by the same person, I would've linked back to it. There is a similar feeling of unease to both games. Sort of like an outer body experience. But where the Stanley Parable has a lot of humour and lightheartedness, the Beginner's Guide feels intensely sad and desperate. And it really did make me feel that way. There were parts of the game that made me feel so uneasy, and other parts which I played with a constant frown on my face. It was a solid visual interpretation of anxiety and depression.

Don't go into this game expecting the Stanley Parable 2. I think that's where a lot of the negative reviews come from. This game has one ending, and there aren't places where you can change things or veer off track. If the game tells you to do something, it won't progress until you do the thing. And it's more like an interactive movie than a game. You are simply listening to a story while you walk around the scenery. There will be people who won't like the game for that reason. And there are other people who will find it hugely effective and immersive, as I did.

Если вы купили The Beginner's Guide, как игру, то вас ждёт нечто совершенно другое. Это история, причём достаточно грустная. История взаимоотношения между двумя людьми. Путешествие через душу и мысли другого человека - вот что вас ждёт, но точно не игра в том смысле, в котором понимают это слово большинство людей.

Но что эе это тогда такое? Это ретроспектива "игр" что сделал человек с именем Coda - очень близкий друг Дэйва Ридена. Проходя эти игры мы видим то как этот человек думал, как он жил и о чём беспокоился. Чего боялся. Мы видим как развивались его идеи, или как они, в большинстве случаев, оставались не законченными и брошенными. Или же для Coda они и были закончены?..

Но это всего лишь одна сторона медали.

Сам Дэви рассказывает историю двух людей, в которой один из них познавал душу другого через его игры, пытался наладить контакт с ним и в итоге... погубил его. Уничтожил ту связь что была между ними лишь потому, что Дэйв и Coda были просто разными людьми. Из за того что Дэйв пытался делать то, что не понимал, из за того что думал что делает хорошую вещь. Но в итоге он погубил мир и творчество человека.

Возможно, пройдя игру, многие из вас вспомнят что-то своё, вспомнят что сами были на месте Дэйва.

В итоге мы имеем на руках не игру а большое письмо-извинение. Извинение для человека с ником Coda, хрупкие труды которого когда то нечаянно испортил Дэйв.

Вот только вам стоит задать самим себе такой же вопрос, который, возможно, задавал Дэйв Риден сам себе - существует ли Coda на самом деле?..

Been coming back to this game fairly often recently. It is a realistic but an indirect story that reminds you not everything is fixable, some things can never be fixed. You just need to adapt to what's going on. If you 're going through a rough time or just feeling lost/confused in general about life, I can't recommend this game enough.

[Updated review]

I discussed the game with some friends that had also purchased a copy and one of my friends suggested something I hadn't considered. "Don't trust the narrator..he's wrong about many things! See what happens then."

And she was right. She'd had a different connection to the game. I focused on game design structure, she was looking at it from the point of emotion. Which then made a lot of the previously confusing elements that I couldn't understand at all fit into the puzzle to complete a picture.

So I can now see the whole picture, or at least understand what Coda was trying to do.

I can now recommend this game given I'd missed so much on the first time through. It's not the Stanley Parable but I think this game is equally as good for doing the exact opposite of what Stanley had - to escape the path to a new ending. In this you are shown the wrong path and you have to find the right one. And I assumed that the polygons and textures was it.

[Original review]
Weirdest experience I've ever had playing a game. If I had to liken it to something, it would be like walking around the Library of Babel finding that none of the books have any meaning through the random jumble of letters. Just when you think you're not going to find anything useful, you find that one book has a single intelligible word. But its existence is completely by chance - it gives no insight to who built the library or where the books came from. Rationality tells you it's all worthless. Random noise. But the library exists to give you that idea.

I have no idea whether this situation is fictional or factual. I've no idea whether the narrator is both developer and commentator. I can't tell you whether it's a waste of time or not. But I bought a copy. I played it. And by some miracle I didn't request a refund. I still don't know why. Perhaps I feel I can work it out if I look at it again. I don't know whether ir's accidental - this sense of emptiness or it's a carefully engineered ♥♥♥-trick to rob the participant of any sense of understanding.

I don't even know if I can recommend this game or not. Steam forced me to pick an option but it felt wrong to click either button. I chose Yes after tossing a coin.

The Stanley Parable tried to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of trying to escape a fixed narrative. This game is trying to ask if you can find meaning in the movement of fog and sand. Can you look at the wind and see a form? All I feel is ambivalence.

Acabei de terminar este jogo... e não sei muito bem o que pensar (ou escrever) sobre ele...

O que posso dizer é que este não é um jogo "normal", onde você tem um objetivo claro, mas sim um experimento que pode mexer muito com as suas emoções e te deixar bem pensativo por algum tempo.

Assim como The Stanley Parable (o jogo anterior do criador deste jogo) quanto menos você souber sobre o jogo melhor será a sua experiência jogando-o.

Este não é um jogo para todo mundo, não acredito que você irá "se divertir" jogando ele, mas acredito que sairá confuso e profundamente tocado. De que maneira for.

Where to start with this...... This was some rollercoaster with feelings. It's more than just a game where you walk and jump..or take decisions or whatever. It's an experience. Made me think about a few things and question myself about other things. If I keep questioning myself..I think I can get a better person too.
Sometimes I asked myself in these years, I play games since I was 5 years old: Why do i play games?to have fun, sure, and share this fun with good friends, that's the best.. sometimes there are games like this that make you feel richer inside and learn some things about the world around you.
It's a must play in my opinion and one of those games I like to call art. My fav kind of game is FPS..but I'm glad there are devs that create games like this.

THIS is "not worth asking the price"?
THIS is... "JUST a story"?

You don't say that to someone who shared his dearest thoughts to you in private. You don't say: "Hey, you're just normal, you actually have quite an average problem with some quirks, so I'm not interested in your version of it, can you please calm down and act normal? Come on. Add some secret story, some achievements... I want to feel like you're a game. You're not what I signed up for."

Would you say that to your partner, too? When he's troubled?

Such a beautiful and well-thought LACK OF DETAILS.
Such a wonderful sound design.

I'm in love. I'm so much in love.

Was für ein Trip.
Ich kann nicht mal sagen, ob mich die Botschaft wirklich erreicht hat, ob ich das Spiel, bzw. die Spiele wirklich verstanden habe, ob ich es gutheiße, was Davey mit "The Beginner's Guide" vorhat(te), ob hinter all dem wirklich mehr steckt...aber das ist völlig egal. Denn diese 90Minuten haben mich von Anfang bis Ende abgeholt und emotional so sehr gepackt, wie lange nichts mehr....und ich kann nicht einmal sagen warum.

Aber sei's drum. Manchmal ist es besser, einfach nichts zu sagen, nicht wahr, Davey.

Davey 和 Coda 在权力天枰的两端并不对等;
那些Urge Drive Demand,才是温柔面具下的驱力,是傲慢下的索取,是不可名状的Gaze;
Coda未必不是像Davey认知的那样,Coda或许确实both isolated and depressed,他需要帮助;
但当Coda被固定为易碎的珍宝时,特别对于一个孤独的人,
它完完全全的变成了它所不是的东西。

Coda是Gaze下被客体化欲求的悲剧,不可避免地让我想到了萨特笔下的《禁闭》;

“他人即地狱”

自溺的灵魂最厌恶递来的同情,而期盼不期而至的雨,能带走一阵颤栗。

수많은 사람들이 작품은 작가와 독자의 소통 수단이라고 말합니다. 하지만 그건 정말일까요? 어쩌면 우리는 작가의 의도를 오해한 채 자신의 모습을 작품에 투영하고 있는지도 모릅니다. 그것은 결국 외부와의 소통이라기 보다는, 자기 자신과의 소통이 됩니다.
그렇다면 결국 소통은 불가능한 것인가? 그것은 이 게임에서 다루고 있지 않은 부분이네요. 굳이 한 마디를 보탠다면, 작품을 통한 소통이 독자 자기 자신과의 소통이라고 하더라도, 그 안에서 어떤 가능성을 발견할 수 있지 않은가? 하고 생각합니다.
이야기가 샜군요.. 아무튼 비기너스 가이드는 이러한 내용을 주제로 작품의 구조와 게임만이 보여줄 수 있는 연출, 매력적인 나레이터를 통해 드러냅니다. 비기너스 가이드를 재미있다고 하는 건 어렵지만, 좋은 게임이라고 말하는 것은 간단한 문제입니다.

Very, very powerful work. Another great example of how video games can be moving, compelling, art. I mean is this a true frickin' story or what?!? Well worth the admission ticket. This will stick with me for a long while.

No pros, no ♥♥♥♥. Just one heck of a moving story.

Thank you Coda.

No question, this is a great experience for video game lovers.

I can't fully describe this game in this review, it is one of those games that you just need to play without looking at any gameplay or anything online. The game is approximately 1 hour long so it's not really that long at all. Just give it a play...NOW, GO NOW! TIME IS WASTING AWAY!

This review is more of a post-game afterthought than a full-on review. If you're reading this, play it. If you've already played it, play it again honestly.





A funny thing happened while I started getting to the latter half of Coda's collection

I started responding to the chat prompts as if I was the main character. Any notion to see his work for the story that was clearly there, I would dismiss and search for the meaning that I needed, the validation that I was looking for.

This game surprised me in ways I could not have imagined. The amount of emotions I felt, the stress I began to endure as Davey delved into his own issues with the doors closing in, I felt so tapped into an experience that I rarely have felt before.

While this is a Not Recommended review, I can really only recommend it for other game developers. I do not recommend it for the average gamer. It is, in places, visually interesting. The narrator (and author) is actually a decent voice actor. It seems to attempt a deeper meaning than is readily clear and it may be compelling for some to think about. There are many theories and ideas about it's meaning popping up, and it has created some interesting conversations. There is some value in generating this kind of open table discussion, so far without any input from the author, but it boils down to third-party speculation about one individual's personal head space. Interesting for a philosophical symposium, but ultimately futile. Most reviews and threads I've read about it could be summarized with the statement "Because I do not understand it, it must be deep and meaningful."
The author seems to have a message he wants to convey, but struggles with how to convey it. I think this was a rather personal game, made as a message, or apology, to a specific person. There is an extant interview with the author that backs this theory. The narrator is a sort of devil's advocate, playing as the person he wants to apologize to, while the fictional second character is the author himself. A kind of role-reversal, as if to say "See, I know how you feel, and I'm sorry."
In any event, it didn't leave me with a good feeling. The parts where the second character was railing at the narrator for needing a purpose or point in a game, felt like the author himself railing at gamers in general. In fact, it gave me the feeling that gaming itself is a futile waste of time and life. A strange message to convey in a game, and a depressing notion for a gamer. Even the part with all the notes left by fictional gamers felt like a condescending mockery of gamers in general, as if we are all a bunch of selfish, immature cretins demanding that the emotionally complex genius of a developer gut his poor soul for our entertainment. It seems to me The Beginner's Guide to disenfranchising your customer base. A feeling of unease, almost nausea, builds throughout. There was some potency in the final sequence, but mostly I was just glad for it to be over. After all that, the mopey song at the end just felt like cynical manipulation.
What I think in a nutshell: the few negative reviews for The Stanley Parable really got to him and this is the result, a figurative middle finger extended to gamers. I could be entirely wrong, but that's the feeling it gave me. If it were free to play I might recommend it, but no one should pay actual money for what amounts to an expiremental, self-indulgent foray into a game developer's emotional state, personal life, and thought process. The message I got was -- making games is hard, emotionally taxing and psychologically draining for the tortured genius. Though a game may be published, it was not made for you, but is simply an expression of the author, a catharsis of artistic talent and technical skill which you do not deserve and could never possibly understand. It reminds me of juvenilia, the kind of poetry that teenagers write; deeply personal, self-centered, overwrought tripe that has little to no value for most other human beings.

本人玩过大量的剧情向昂、意识流、步行模拟等等相似类型的游戏。游戏之前,看过简介与视频后,自然而然地把它当作类似于史丹利的预言的一款游戏,实则不然。
刚开始游戏时,就感到震惊,本款游戏以code的游戏来探寻他的内心(这在游戏史上并不罕见),可是也不能算是我们直接去体验,而是靠旁白davey作为像是中介一样的人物来给我们互相介绍,我便感觉到有端倪,这游戏可不寻常。
“每一款游戏看似简单,但好像有很深层地东西藏在里面”,这是游戏本身让你这么想的还是旁白让你这么想的?
到了后期,code的内心状况逐渐露出水面,我作为玩家就越来越矛盾,随著旁白的诱导,我们是不是也逐渐变成旁白一样的心境?我们是不是也是code憎恨的人?我们是不是也是造成code丧失创意、停止制作游戏的罪魁祸首?
你在看到code的话语时,你有没有立刻关游戏,而是像旁白一样深陷其中,想看后续。
“Stop adding lampposts to them”不要再无端给游戏加上目的,这也许就是Code制作游戏最初的心境。

Do you like movies that spur endless internet discussions about their meaning? Then this game is for you.

(Please note the game wouldn't launch for me. I had to check the Steam forums and add launch parametres
-novid -window -noborder
to get it running.)

Let me start with the bottom line.
Is this game suitable for me?
  • Don't expect anything like The Stanley Parable, it's nothing like it.
  • This game isn't meant to be fun or enjoyable, it's rather supposed to make you think and feel. I'll let you decide if that's for you.
  • In terms of gameplay, this is very much a walking simulator. As the Steam store description says, it has no play mechanics, no goals or objectives. It is basically a guided tour. You walk around, look and listen, and click on stuff.
  • 90-120 minutes gameplay, and no replay value.
  • It touches on themes of creativity, friendship, depression, anxiety, obsession, dependency, and projection. If it clicks with you, it will keep you thinking for a long time. It will remind you of people you know, maybe yourself. Remind you of situations you've lived.

I said earlier that it's nothing like The Stanley Parable. But inevitably, people will compare the two. They both are "games about games" and they both feature walking around listening to narration. And in a way, the two are related. You can't help it - the same person is behind both.

The fiction of The Beginner's Guide (TBG) is that it's a guided tour by the developer, Davey Wreden. "Davey" (I use the quotes to denote the in-game Davey Wreden) narrates directly to us, the players, as he takes us through a compilation of small games made by a friend of his nicknamed "Coda". "Davey" says he compiled and released these games, in the form of TBG, in order to encourage Coda to start making games again after he stopped, and to help him out of a depression.

"Davey" clearly admires Coda's work, pointing out all sorts of ideas, patterns and themes in Coda's games, and wondering at the thoughts and feelings that gave birth to them.
Through the tour, we get to know Coda and "Davey" better.

It's difficult to say much more about TBG without spoiling anything. What I've written above will have to be enough for you to decide if you want it.

Now I'll continue with my opinions on the game with major, complete spoilers.

SPOILERS FOLLOW.


No, seriously, there's major spoilers after this. If you're at all interested in TBG, don't read any further.

Are you sure?
Okay, I'll continue now.

Really, really sure? No going back after this. I just want to be certain you know what you're getting yourself into.
Alright, here we go.

TBG really is about The Stanley Parable. Rather, it's about Davey Wreden's conflicted feelings after the huge success of TSP. On the one hand he felt a sort of disconnection from his creation because it was in the hands of so many people who saw their own meanings in it, and on the other hand he craved every bit of admiration that came his way. "Coda" and TBG's version of "Davey" are two sides of the real-life Davey Wreden, and TBG's "Davey" is also an avatar of the masses.

Wreden details his post-TSP feelings in this blog post:
http://www.galactic-cafe.com/2014/02/game-of-the-year/

But what I also liked about TBG is that it also has a much broader interpretation. Several in fact.

"Davey" fawns over Coda's games and finds all kinds of meaningful, intellectual, emotional themes in his works. But they're really nothing but a bunch of unoriginal, unfinished games. "Davey" projects his own anxieties and depression onto Coda, becoming dependent. This shows between the lines in his narration, and then is practically blared at us by the end. One of the game's poor points - Wreden abandons all subtlety and spoonfeeds us at the end of the game.

So it's about overanalytical fans who see meaning that is not there, and ascribe their own emotions to an artist's work. "Stop putting lampposts in my games" was the most chilling line in the game.

TBG is also about perspective in relationships. This is apparent in The Tower chapter, where Coda addresses "Davey" directly, making it clear that he does not consider him a friend, that "Davey" makes him physically ill, and that "Davey" seems to think this is all about himself. This comes as a shock because "Davey" makes it seem like he and Coda are good friends, throughout the games.

On top of that, TBG is about how we sometimes go about helping people in all the wrong ways, because we make assumptions and act selfishly while thinking we are being altruistic. It's about how we put emotional lampposts in peoples' lives.

TBG may be heavy-handed, but I feel that's a result of the weight of Wreden's frustration that he felt compelled to portray and lay bare.
And in a contradiction to itself, TBG will make you assign your own meaning to it. It's inevitable.

Yeah, I'd say I recommend this. It's food for thought, and it's an admirable portrait of a creator.

I would argue that "The Beginner's Guide" is an improvement on the introspective of "The Stanley Parable". It was an enjoyable, harrowing, sorrowful journey through someone else's mind, and it brought with it all the narrative twists and turns I've come to expect from the writer.

Even though you're expecting the ride, it still takes you and holds you in this emotional grasp.

Thanks, Davey. Know you are a good human.

I'm a gamer, older than the average demographic probably. But I've been in a gaming rut lately. Working a lot, not much free time, and in the free time I have had I haven't been interested in the typical big budget AAA action/adventure/FPS games that I usually play. I do like artistic indie games too and this definitely scratched that itch. I was engaged the whole time. It was short and sweet, didn't overstay its welcome.

Just because you're correct, doesn't mean you're right.

Also... I feel a bit horrible after playing it too. Not in the bad way, the game is great, but in a sad way, because I can relate to this so much.

To all artists/authors/game developers/anything involving the creative industry, or perhaps you are friends with some of them... (ESPECIALLY if you are friends with some of them.)

Please, play this game.

Don't look at it as a game. Look at it as an experience, a journey, as something you might have probably never experienced and you know what, its absolutely okay. There were moments in this game where I felt so emotional and heavy inside, I could feel the tears dwelling in my eyes.

Please, do play it and just experience it and just take it in as something new, as something different and I promise it would turn out to be one of your best decisions.

I loved this, and I am so glad I bought this.

这并不是一款大众意义上的游戏,它是一款更纯粹的步行模拟器,游戏中独立游戏的思考让我给它好评,但从普通玩家的角度我不推荐去玩这个不是游戏的游戏。

"Something totally different."

From one perspective this isn't a game, from all perspectives it is.
There are no pros or ♥♥♥♥ to this game, like in all my other reviews - except either you belong to the audience or you don't.

Pros:
+ you belong to the audience & enjoyed it.

♥♥♥♥:
- you don't belong to the audience & hated it.

Verdict:
It's an experience, either you like it or you don't, but it sticks to your head.

Incredibly moving, inspiring, and intellectually engaging. The video game equivalent of an essay film.

A thorough exploration of what is artistically achievable in a game.

Highest recommendation.

Jesus, this game.

I would highly, highly recommend you experience this game as blind as possible. It is sufficient to say this game is an exceptional story with an enthralling atmosphere, and though that plus some puzzles is the extent of the game-play, it's an experience that is worth your time, money and investment.


Spoilers Below!




What is the legacy of an artist?

What, if anything, does art owe to the world?

These and other questions will sit heavy with you after completing the game. I'm writing this review at least a year after my original play through and I still dip into solemn introspective when I think about it. I started this journey with the joy of the Stanley Parable's bizarre sense of humor fresh in my memory, and for a while that was still with me as I began the journey. By the end, I had found myself truly engaging with the story and feeling the intended connection with the author through the work, and it was devastating.

There's not much to say about this game other to go in willing to engage with this medium fully and without any layers of removal. If you let it into your heart, it can evoke emotions in you that you'd never believe.

This game is a sucker punch in the gut. But in a really, really good way.

And it was absolutely not what I was expecting.

Don't play this if you're looking for a light-hearted, happy game that you can just put down and walk away from.

Do play this if you want something that will make you question your relationships. Play this if you want something that'll make you question what you think you know about how others see you, and how you see them. Play this if you want to have to take a good look at yourself, even if you know you won't like what you see.

I'm not someone who cries easily. Precious few movies, books, or music have been able to impact me deeply enough to trigger tears, and even fewer video games have had such an effect on me. But I can definitely add The Beginner's Guide to that list.

I will say that this game can be emotionally difficult. If you're someone who has a hard time dealing with deeply depressing subjects, you may want to avoid it.

This game was fantastic.

As soon as this game ended and I heard the ending song, I started sobbing. Obviously, as most other reviews say, this game is absolutely not for everyone. Don't go into this game expecting something funny and witty like The Stanley Parable, because it's not. It's so much more emotionally driven. It's so real, and in a dark depressing way, it's extremely relatable. If you're looking for a game that will make you think and want to find every little extra piece of the story, then stop looking at reviews and go buy this game right now.

♥♥♥ este juego me pasó algo curioso; aunque era obvio si me lo ponía a pensar, mientras lo jugaba no estaba seguro si lo que me contaban era realidad o ficción hasta que aparecieron los créditos, estaba tan inmerso que no me lo cuestionaba.

Puede que lo encuentren "pretencioso" si no les gustan este tipo de juegos ♥♥♥ poca jugabilidad que consisten principalmente en caminar, pero para lo que es, tiene mucho corazón y no encontré que le hiciera falta nada.
Juéguenlo, aunque recomiendo esperar a que esté en oferta antes de comprarlo por lo corto que es...

Creo que me dieron ganas de hacer un juego yo mismo (?

This game... this game is really just something else.
Before I start, the less you know about it. the better so go out and buy this, I'm sure 10$ won't make you broke. Just finished this work of art. But starting off, a story driven master piece, nothing less. The emersion and feel of this game really brings you in and drives you to another level. I'd say, find 2-4 hours of time where no one can bother you, where you're in just absolute focus and sit down and enjoy the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game. Honestly, I can play this game, over and over because it really just takes you in and it means something, not just some other walking simulator and some tacky story. No, this is what a true author and poet would write. I'd consider this to be an epic, no less. So sit down, grab your headphones and enjoy the beauty and ride this gives you. Honestly, this is what a story should be. This is what you should feel everytime you see a book or read a movie.

Conclusion: Play this game or your life has no reason but existance, and that's honestly not good enough.

A powerful experience. Mechanically: a walking simulator. Artistically: a proper story that paints a picture and maybe leaves you thinking even after you're done with it. One of the few games that can really make an impact.

Осторожно, Вы ступаете на опасное поле спойлеров!

Заранее скажу, что в прошлую игру Дейви Ридена под названием The Stanley Parable я не играл, особо даже не видел в действии, но порядком был наслышан о тамошнем взаимодействии игрока и рассказчика, поэтому сравнить их физически не смогу.

Нежданно-негаданно, вопрос "понравилась ли мне игра?" стал одним из самых сложных за долгое время. Сложнее его может быть только вопрос "советую ли я в неё поиграть другим?" А всё из-за того, что The Beginner's Guide — это не совсем игра. По крайней мере, в привычном её понимании. Если абстрагироваться от мало кому нужных и порядком раздражающих высокопарных эпитетов вроде "арт-инсталляции в интерактивной среде", то перед нами простой как топор и технически незамысловатый концепт, устами диктора рассказывающий некоторую историю. Реализован он в форме кучи проектов, в качестве хобби сляпанных на Сорсе неким игроделом по имени Кода, которую собрал воедино его знакомый. И, собственно, выложил потом в Steam. Не совсем ясно, имеет ли вся эта история какую-то реальную почву, была ли она хотя бы основана на каких-то событиях в жизни автора, или же просто является работой воображения, но это и не важно сейчас.

Важно то, что повествование в целом действительно стоит того, чтобы быть услышанным. История Коды, делавшего свои концептуальные наброски в течение трёх лет, а потом вдруг почему-то переставшего, и его знакомого, как раз выступающего в роли диктора, оказалась на деле пусть и абсолютно линейной, но в то же время обвешанной кучей ниточек, каждая из которых ведёт к своему смыслу разной степени глубинности. Тут тебе и тема постепенного выгорания художника, и тема нарастающей самоизоляции на фоне каких-то личных причин, и тема зависти потребителя к творцу, и тема взаимоотношений фаната и кумира, и тема приписывания увиденному смыслов более глубоких, чем задумывалось автором (что довольно самоиронично, кстати), и так далее. В пример можно привести игры серии Silent Hill, где сюжет вроде и был линейным и цельным, обилие намёков и недосказанностей в нём открывало широкий простор для анализа. То есть, разработчики предлагали скелет, а мясо на него наращивалось самим игроком, участвующим в осмыслении увиденного. Впрочем, без сюжетного вау-эффекта, обязывающего перевернуть представление о происходящем, не обошлось. Но именно он побуждает пройти The Beginner's Guide ещё раз, поскольку в первое своё прохождение Вы, скорее всего, будете внимательно слушать диктора и принимать на веру всё, что он говорит, а во второе — уже относиться к его словам настороженно и с долей скепсиса. В игре всего-лишь два персонажа: диктор и Кода, и нельзя стопроцентно сказать, что они оба с Вами честны.

Но и нашлась ложка-другая дёгтя. И дело как раз в технической реализации игры — в ней нет геймплея. Вы лишь проходите одну за другой игры Коды, а полторы загадки, встречающиеся на пути, за Вас решает диктор, добавляющий какой-нибудь способ их обхода или прямо говорящий решение. Такое отношение к игроку оправдывается концептом — куда ж без этого! — но в таком случае игрок просто перестаёт быть игроком. Даже такие симуляторы ходьбы, как Pineview Drive и Gone Home как-то откликались на излишнюю любознательность того, кто сидит перед экраном. Что-то подобное меня расстраивало в To the Moon, где было поле для реализации каких-нибудь геймплейных фишек, основанных на логике, но вместо этого в игре остался лишь аналог пятнашек, только создатели The Beginner's Guide в это углубились ещё сильнее. Грубо говоря, если To the Moon побоялась быть ориентированной на головоломки адвенчурой, The Beginner's Guide побоялась быть игрой.

На этом самом "погружении" The Beginner's Guide и держится, к счастью или нет. Но чтобы проникнуться игрой, нужно быть не просто на волне, а на чёртовом цунами! Возможно, её автору и действительно хотелось просто выговориться, получив попутно за это ещё и копеечку. И если ни одна из поднимающихся в сюжете проблем не будет Вам близка, то велик шанс, что Вы либо её просто забросите, либо всё-таки домучаете до конца, благо продолжительность позволяет.

Так-то поиграть в неё я советую. Вдруг именно Вы являетесь тем человеком, кого игра зацепит за живое, но ожидать от неё больше, чем интерактивного рассказа, не стоит — рискуете разочароваться.

А ещё там музыка хорошая.

这是我的steam好友送我的游戏,最近因为病毒的事情被困在老家,就下载下来玩了一下
可能游戏性没有史丹利寓言那么高,但是深度丝毫不差
似乎是用起源引擎做的,有些音效我听得出来,优化不错,我的垃圾笔记本也能在高画质跑上200多fps

另外有两点我很在意:
1,在“对话框”关卡中,出现了错别字“today I learn [yuou] cannot fall off”
2,在结局的飞升,我很好奇那个大迷宫应该是建模不是贴图吧?这么大的迷宫应该会消耗很多硬件资源,但是当时的fps也有200多,这是怎么做到的?

Complicado recomendar esto y más intentar saber donde estan los limites del spoiler... Es el metajuego elevado a la potencia. Tanto que casi no es un juego. Viene a explorar ese punto de unión entre la relación del creador ♥♥♥ su obra y la proyección del jugador en ella. Y esto no estoy seguro si pasa mientras juegas el juego o cuando ya lo has terminado. Una experiencia desde luego.
El final puede parecer un poco anticlimax pero si lo piensas dos veces y tomas un punto de vista mas amplio te deja bastante impactado.

This is a very touching game. At a couple points i had felt overwhelmed with emotion, in parts where there's hidden meaning behind something that's being explained to you. How a reappearance in something can be so important and symbolic in something can be so detrimental to the entire game.

I was so excited for this game, especially upon hearing that it was made by the mastermind that created "The Stanley Parable". When I started playing it, I enjoyed the fact that it played a lot like Stanley, but after a few minutes, I realized that the game was moving incredibly slowly and I really wasn't doing anything in the game except walking. I figured that the game was building up to something and eventually it would speed up.

It never did. This is game is literally nothing but visiting different unfinished game worlds, listening to a story and walking. So much walking. So it's basically The Stanley Parable but with all the fun stuff taken out. Don't play this game unless you're fine playing a completely uninteresting game with no challenges and a boring story. It's not worth the money and although some people may appreciate it for being "deep and artsy", it's also flat and boring and wasn't for me.

If you're expecting Stanley Parable 2: Electric Boogaloo you're going to be disappointed. As other reviewers have been saying going into to much kind of defeats the purpose but its still a unique idea and despite any potential cries of it being a nothing walking simulator it does involve the player in its own way, its definitely not like Dear Esther. It's not perfect, and it can be rather self-indulgent, but it was interesting enough throughout and it sticks the landing to make for a good ending. I think more actually could have been done to really expand on the main theme and make it really great but as it its fine, not mindblowing and not nearly as impressive as some other indie adventure-esque games this year, but I think it works regardless and is worth it.

Псевдо-Документалка, сотканная из игр-уровней на движке Source.

Автор The Stanley Parable пытается разобраться в проблеме нелюдимости своего воображаемого друга. Но, как это обычно бывает, пока "больной" страдает от одного недуга, "врачи" лечат его от другого.

Рассказ на один раз, потратите на него 2 часа максимум (был бы спринт, как в Half-Life 2, то вообще минут 30). Субтитры на русском присутствуют.

Рекомендуется по приличному скидону искателям большого смысла, а не экшена для коромысла.

Amazing. If action and easily fed storylines are you cup of energy juice, you'll not like this. If you enjoy meta madness and inside-out questions, this will be right up your street. It's thought provoking, questioning and created in a way which can make you have conflict with your own observations. It's really quite a masterpiece, in my opinion. I loved it. But that opinion in itself is almost a reflection of what this game, or art work, is about. Because this is a work of art, or meta art. It's brilliant. Even now it's bending my mind writing this review. Wow. I'm going to stop reviewing it.

It's a nice little story. One of those artistic games, giving profound thoughts and elusive storytelling over game mechanics. If you're patient with more art-oriented emotional games, I'd know The Beginner's Guide will be very enjoyable for you.

So... I really wanted to like this game, even as a serious thing. I felt as if I could relate with the game's themes to some degree. But... I don't know, I didn't have some emotional revelation or connection or anything. It was interesting, but... I don't know, just something about it all rubs me the wrong way.

Maybe it's the price point? Games can't be judged by their play time, especially because you can get so much with so little. Unfortunately I didn't really feel as if I got anything, except overcharged and disappointed. :/ On the bright side, I did discover the Source engine apparently causes me to get motion sick? Yay?

PS. It's interesting and perhaps telling that there's no "Community" section for this game at all. Is that intentional or a day one release glitch? I guess we'll find out.

ウォーキングシミュレーターとありますが、
内容はゲームというより、哲学的なゲームの論説のようなものです。
日本語化推奨。
プレイし終えての感想です。

色々と考えさせられるゲームでした
ゲーム自体は、友人の作成したゲームのマップを通じて
友人がゲームを通して伝えたかったことを探っていこう、というもの・・・なのですが、
関係が進む(というか、ゲーム作成が数を重ねる)につれて、
微妙に関係がねじれていく・・・?という感じ。

ゲームが一概に第三者のためのものではない、という事を伝えたかったのかなぁと
個人的には解釈しています。
しかし解釈は人によって異なるため
実際にプレイしてみることを強く推奨します。
自分としては、友人も友人なりの主張があって良いものだと思います。

プレイしてみて面白いかどうか・・・と言われると微妙ですが、
こういったクリエーターの方もいるんだなぁ、というのは強く感じました。

もし余裕があればぜひ。

The Beginner's Guide, created by the same fellow that wrote The Stanley Parable, is a wonderful, horrific insight into the fragility of the human conscience. It's short, simple, but incredibly powerful. It'll make you feel a very wide array of feelings as you journey through the very complicated history of a man and his 'friend.'

You could probably beat it in an hour or so, so decide if you wanna wait for a sale or not before purchasing. Either way, it's a wonderful little story-driven, single player experience through the various states of the human mind.

С самого начала я предпологал, что мне надо будет залазить в папку с игрой, открывать exe`шники, чтобы играть в игру, ведь так показано на видео.

После запуска, и да я удивился, что она так запускается, я ожидал что-то многоуровневое, с множестов решений, аля Stanley Parable. Но то, что я увидел...

ОСТОРОЖНО СПОЙЛЕРЫ!!!

Как это сейчас называют... Я подхватил чувство ASMR и все два часа, которые я проходил эту игру я его испытывал. В самом начале, когда мы должны были спасти всех от "Шёпота" нам показали этот баг, из-за которого мы взлетели вверх...

Понимаете, я поймал чувство происходящего, это чем-то напоминает сны, но, как и во снах, ты совершенно не знаешь, что будет дальше.

Большинство пишет, что "сия игра для псевдо-интеллектуалов, бла-бла-бла, за что я платил деньги, бла-бла-бла". Всё это ваши личные проблемы если вы так считаете. Но каково чувство, когда ты роешься в чужой душе, когда слушаешь всю историю и иногда специально останавливаешься чтобы всё внимательно выслушать. Сказать, что игра меня затянула, это ничего не сказать. Она поглотила меня, она просто меня будоражила, удивляла до самой последней минуты пока я её проходил.

Если говорить грубо и некрасиво, можно описать эту игру так, почувствуй себя третим лицом в человеке с раздвоением личности.

В кратце, эта игра оставила глубочайший след в моей душе.

Если у вас есть эти несчастные 200 рублей, купите эту игру и просто наслаждайтесь чувством, которое я не в силах описать. Game of the Year 100\10

La première m'a laissé dans un sentiment de consternation absolue. Ce n'est pas du tout ce que j'attendais.
La seconde ne m'a pas fait changer d'avis, mais j'ai relativisé un petit peu^^.

Le système d'évaluation Steam me propose une voie binaire ; est-ce que je recommande ce titre alors ? Non... Pas à tout le monde, à une minorité de personnes en fait.
Le fait est que j'ai déjà recommandé positivement des titres qui étaient dédiés à un public très restreint... Mais au moins, j'avais trouvé une satisfaction personnelle.
----------------------------------------------------
On va y aller par éliminations, si vous attendez :
1/Un titre avec une jouabilité complexe et un grand sentiment de liberté
2/Une grande rejouabilité
3/Un titre qui est fait pour vous montrer les étapes du développement d'un jeu... Ou quelque analyse poussée sur le développement de concepts

PASSEZ VOTRE CHEMIN !

C'est une expérience narrative à usage unique et avant tout, c'est un titre introspectif sur la création, ses doutes, ses interprétations... Avant qu'un twist finale vienne dévoiler la nature intimiste du titre (peux pas en dire plus sans spoiler...

...Et comme le jeu est particulièrement court(et tant mieux, vu ce qu'il propose!) çà serait pas chouette de le faire.
----------------------------------------------
Donc voilà "The Beginner's guide" un titre qui est là pour diviser et faire s'interroger sur les messages et la manière dont on peut les faire passer dans une oeuvre vidéo ludique; clairement pas ce que j'attendais comme expérience, clairement pas le dénouement et les conclusions que j'attendais non plus.
Davey Wreden, qui a raté sa vocation de psychanalyste :ceci n'est pas une insulte: aura au moins eue le mérite de me faire m'interrogé sur son œuvre, plus que de raison...

Et c'est peut-être signe qu'il a réussi son coup le bougre ><
----------------------------------------------
Çà vaut 9 euros hors soldes, quand même...

Не читайте обзоры, просто купите
Нельзя описать то, чем является данная игра без того, чтобы заспойлерить. Игра проходится меньше чем ща 2 часа, так что при желании вы можете спокойно вернуть деньги.
Это искусство, искусство в чистейшем виде. Эту игру не стыдно даже показать людям, что в игры не играют.
Предупреждаю: если вы не любите истории про людей и их внутренние траблы - проходите. Всех же остальных приглашаю в театр не только рассказывающий об одном человеке, но и об искусстве в целом.

这个游戏故事的内容大概在2小时左右。买这个游戏的原因是作者的其他作品《史丹利的寓言》。

不能算做游戏,可以看成一部作者对他朋友Coda的一种敬佩?看法?

游戏内容十分的“孤独”,之前肯了测评不是很了解,自己玩好以后也产生了类似的想法。

总而言之在逐渐了解了Coda深层次的内心后,产生了一些想法,并不是每件事都一定要有意义的。

游戏内容中的牢房,双门,灯塔不停的出现,表达出了Coda的孤独,抑郁,逃避的内心的同时,我们同时也会问自己,真实的自己也是这样的吗?

最后希望Coda能恢复游戏制作。感觉带来的一部好的作品。

我以为这个游戏会有巨大的信息量,所以我还特意边玩边记录点东西(顺便记了几个单词
前半个小时,我的确被有趣的设想吸引到了。
借着作者的旁白,我有很多感触,我似乎也触碰到了些MR.R的思想内核。
但在后半程令人压抑的过程中,我才发现这并不是一个像The Stanley Parable那样的游戏,我的所有记录派不上什么用场。
这是一篇作者的自白,讲自己在追求的那种不可描述的精神理念。
最后,很高兴作者让我得以坚信,游戏作为一种新的工具,也可以发展成为一门艺术。
9/10.
p.s.做游戏做自己想做的,这样是坠吼的,被玩家要求来要求去的就失去其意义了(我并不是在说网游

This is a tough one...

As an aspiring game developer (and artist) this piqued my interest. However, to someone who hadn't had a similar experience, and/or empathy for the narrator (Davey) I'm not sure it would have any appeal. I didn't hate the game and I didn't love it, but there was something interesting about it.

Lots of people love to judge games on a time vs dollars ratio and this game is without a doubt a short one at ~1.5 hours but that doesn't bother me. There's more to a game than how long you play it.

It's tricky to recommend this game because it's such a niche experience. Most people aren't going to be open to a game that's less about gameplay and more about delivering a monologue. In a yes/no system of voting, I'd have to say no, I can't recommend TBG.

Проходить здесь особо нечего. Игра понравится тем, кто любит слушать и созерцать, и не понравится тем, кто любит собственно проходить игры - то есть выполнять в них какие-то задачи и так далее. Также имейте в виду, что игра неважно переведена на русский, и поскольку текст здесь очень важен, впечатление может оказаться подпорчено из-за перевода.

Наверное, ещё стоит добавить, что эта игра не похожа на "Притчу о Стэнли". Здесь нет никакой свободы выбора, повествование идёт как по рельсам, и от ваших действий не зависит ровным счётом ничего. Идём из точки А в точку Б, слушаем рассказ - вот и всё. Вся сила в рассказе - но опять-таки, зайдёт не всем.

Абзац ниже можно посчитать спойлером, поэтому если боитесь спойлеров, то не читайте.

Здесь нам показана история о конфликте двух совершенно разных людей.
Один любит двигаться к цели, другой любит сидеть и созерцать.
Один всё меряет публичным одобрением, другой к нему безразличен.
Один хочет везде найти смысл, другой спокойно относится к полной бессмыслице.
Один решил, что у другого большие проблемы... но истинная проблема была в нём самом.


Интересная и поучительная история на полтора часа.

For the first time writing a review, I feel utterly stumped with regards to what I should say about the product.

It's deeply, intrinsically personal - despite purpotedly being a critique of another developers work. In its way it exposes some fundamental flaws of the creators character, and as someone who suffers from social anxiety, I find that the themes presented by the game are intensly relatable.

I didn't find myself as affected as I was lead to believe I would be by various other reviews, but I can say that I found myself reflecting on traits of my own personality having finished it.

Some might consider The Beginners Guide to be pretentious, or invasively heavy handed with the message it tries to get across - but I see it as a no-holds-barred insight into the thoughts of another.

It's not a "game" in the traditional sense, but I can recommend it.

ミッションをクリアしていくようなものではなく、物語をゲームの形式で見せていくタイプのものです。
The Stanley Parableとも違い、分岐はなく、一本道で終わります。「ゲーム」を期待する方は避けた方が良いでしょう。

創作者、特にゲーム製作を試みた方には刺さる内容かと。
自分の好きなものを作ること、それを外へと発表すること……その葛藤の物語です。
このゲームの作者Codaと発表者の関係、ゲームに込められた意味、ゲームとは何なのか、そして一体Codaとは誰なのか。
The Stanley Parableがプレイヤーとゲームの物語ならば、こちらはクリエイターとゲームの物語なのでしょう。

A profound gaming experience that will redefine how you view gaming as a whole. The enriched story touches many different aspects of our lives, especially the creative types who pick up this game, and even if it doesn't resonate with you it will give you an insightful look into yourself and the game's creator. Unlike its predecessor, the stanley parable, there is only one way to play this game and that's the way it's meant to be played. I've played through it several times now, crying each one as the beauty and remarkable narrative talent of the game make it very hard not to. I have a hard time calling this a video game and putting it in the same category as the generic FPS or sandbox game because this game really is so much more than that. But shouldn't we be holding the standard of 'video game' to the complexity of this game and not to the well designed but utimately shallow GTA series? This game will hopefully answer that question for you.

Не знаю, глупо ли писать такое... Но я напишу. Это не игра - это эмоции. Эмоции и чувства что вложены были в этот проект... Все они были мною испытаны. Я ощутил себя героем игры. Тем, кто создал её. Я не знаю как отблагодарить авторов, но мне стало грустно и при этом как-то не по себе. Я видел что автор хотел сказать. Ненависть к себе за то, что ты не смог помочь людям в трудную минуту, или же им не нужна была помощь, но ты всё равно пытался, старался им помочь. Эта игра - можно сказать терапия. Я очень надеюсь что увижу больше подобных проектов и больше пойму о жизни...

The Beginner's Guide is heavily dependant on its narrative, so it's hard to review a game like this without giving away spoilers. While I won't mention anything specific, just explaining certain parts felt like a spoiler to me, so reader beware.

***SPOILERS***

Now The Beginner's Guide is a walking simulator, and like any other walking simulator it depends on the narrative to succeed or fail. The problem is that The Beginner's Guide's narrative is one about the meta relationship between the game and the player, and The Beginner's Guide fails to handle that relationship very well. This is largely because The Beginner's Guide is completely linear.

The game feels like the clumsy translation from a book to a movie or a movie to a game. A meta game that is completely linear, that explores the relationship between a player and the game, without actually letting you have any meaningful interaction as a player to the game. This is especially noticeable because The Stanley Parable made by the same creator covers a lot of the same ground, but actually allowed the player to well, play with it. Even as a walking simulator, it gave you choices and let you change the game. The Stanley Parable played with your expectations about what would happen and what actually did happen.

Now a central conceit of The Beginner's Guide is a "real" story about a creator and the player. How you feel about the game in the end is probably going to depend a lot on how much of that story you actually believe. Because that "real" story is the justification the game has for its linear narrative, for why it restricts your choice as the player. At least for me that felt like a cop-out. I don't think it's a real story, and if it isn't completely fictionalized, it is at least partly falsified. And for the narrative the game tries to spin, what's the point if that's the case? What's the point if it isn't true?

Creators make fictionalized worlds and stories all the time. You don't need it to be real to make you feel something. But when someone tries to tell you something's true and you think they're lying, well it's hard to feel anything about it then. But what if it was true?

If the "real" story that The Beginner's Guide tells is actually true, then it's a completely linear game that plays with the idea of being a meta game. The narrative is used to justify a weaker type of game and restrictive mechanics, just for the sake of the narrative.

And if it isn't true? Then there's no point making a linear game playing with the idea of being a meta game. No point playing The Beginner's Guide instead of The Stanley Parable. If the whole point of the game is just about the player and the game he plays, then we've seen this done better in a dozen different ways.

Ok, so I have just finished this game. Let me tell you why I didn't like it.

This game starts well, lures you in right from the beginning, and it tries to make you reflect about some things: life, goals, friendship, relationships, videogame design, effort you put into what you do, meaning behind ideas, introspective things like that. In my opinion, it fails to deliver on that. I wouldn't say it fails miserably, but nonetheless, it fails, or perhaps 'falls short' would be more accurate. It does have a nice narrator throughout the game, but after the 1 and a half hour that it lasts it feels kind of dumb to have this guy walk you through the game, it feels more like a desperate attempt for you to feel attached to him somehow. I won't spoil the end, but it felt empty to me, I just didn't buy the premise. I read a message left by someone else and I agree with this part of what he/she said: "I didn’t find it sad, more contemplative.", which in itself doesn't mean the game is 'bad', it just means it aims for one thing, and delivers something else (at least from my pov).

Pros:
- Music throughout the game.
- Narrator voice acting, he performed his part well overall despite the script.

♥♥♥♥:
- Short, very short. 1 and a half hs at most.
- Weak script and plot.
- Not much to do throughout the game, you kind of tag along and the game itself, along with the narrator, walks you through it.
- Price: $10 for a 1 and a half hour game!? I mean, I'm not trying to be mean, but I even paid $3.99 for it during a sale, but it's the same price I also paid for Shadow of Mordor GOTY Edition, so it's a bit tough to justify even a low price like that.

I seriously don't know why it has got so many positive reviews, I mean, the game isn't bad, it's just... weak in what it tries to achieve. Unless you're REALLY into narrative games that try to reach you emotionaly, I'd say pass on this one.

Боже, это 10/10. Игра проходиться за 2-3 часа максимум, но это было настолько сильно и душевно, что к концу игры буквально проникаешься этой историей. Совершенно новый формат игры, ни на что не похожий. Это как фильм о человеке, о том как проходя его творения, окунаешься в его душу и чувствуешь все, что он испытывал во время их разработки и какие мысли его гложили все то время. В общем, это "must play" для всех кто считает что иногда для крутой игры достаточно только истории.

I see what this game is trying to do (it's not as much a game as it is a message) but I can't help but feel ripped off.

$8, 1.2 hours of gameplay, and overall just an unsatisfactory feeling at the end of it all.

If you're looking for top keks like in The Stanley Parable, you won't find it here. I went into this game blind, and in the end I wasn't pleasantly surprised like I thought I would be.

If I had to describe this, it'd be like buying a $8 cup of coffee at some Brooklyn coffee shop and feeling that "this was unique, kinda interesting, but absolutely not worth $8" afterwards.

I'm going to admit that I did think this game was very odd and a little boring at first. But as you get deeper and deeper into the game, it really gets a lot more interesting and you start to piece things together that you saw before in the beginning. This game has so much emotion involved that I feel like I can relate to so many aspects of it, and I'm sure others agree. Please play the game blind as I did, it really is worth it.

Пожалуй, да. Соглашусь, что Коды нет, а игра о его собственных экспериментах. Просто дважды абстрактированная. Сначала как рассказ о дружбе, потом уровни. А потом, в 2011 он показал друзьям свои эксперименты и понял, что зря боялся делать это сразу. Общение с собой действетельно не помогает.

To be blunt I don't think I'm smart enough to "get" this.

I wan't able to relate to anything that was being said nor did I pick up on any messages or themes the author was trying to get across.

I just completed the story and I'm sat here feeling nothing except mild confusion.

Let's all critique a game about the dangers of doing just that

This story telling video game could be seen as a response to the portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, or an early life 8 ½ as observed by a critic. It’s refreshing and original for a video game creator to try and tackle this issue in video games. Video games by and large are still where they started, but with better graphics: avoiding death while dealing it out or hopping across precarious platforms. If one were to apply some film theory, it would appear that the popular majority of video games, and by extension the consumers that enable them are more in the early stages (primitive to classic) of their genres at best where cliches abound. While auteurs and critics in film helped to push for new movements or foster revisionist/parodic creations, video games either don’t have or aren’t quite willing to embrace this scaffolding.


If all of this seems like a wordy tangent to discuss criticism and art, that’s because the Beginner’s Guide is. Video games have a special power aside from other literature like film and books in that it relies more so on the player’s experience/pace / interaction and this game offers an interesting insight into the meidum we indulge in and the demands we make of , or the ignorance we give to, video games and their creators.

The Beginner’s Guide makes great use of its narrator. Shifting perspective, forced cuts in the video game acting like jump cuts are done behind the scenes where we are left to wonder what we are unable to observe. It’s a collaborative narrative. What is interesting is that this game seems to make an argument that rather than the death of the author, we are now looking at the birth of the author in a revisioned sense: fans can pick apart and take what they want, but ultimately we are trapped in lines of code pursuing a goal designed, but all the while the creator is the one who gets to decide if we succeeding in taking away what they wanted us to from the game. This falls in line with another outspoken critic/auteur (Jonathan Blow).

Outside of art and video games, it also seems to detail with shortcomings, our hunt for meaning and the narrative fallacy. But we could just be reading into it too much.

Stray observations:

  • the motif of door and lamppost was a nice aside
  • The section with messages strewn everywhere from “players” was one of my favorite sequences
  • In that same sequence it's interesting to note that the person that couldn’t type got the furthest
  • The early levels really transported me back decades to old custom maps based in unreal or Source

This game is, without a doubt, one of the most thought provoking games I have ever had the fortune to play. It really brings to light the fact that just because you may know someone, you can never actually -know- them. It is short and beautiful, and will leave you feeling just, well... sad.

Well, это не Сага о Стенли. И даже не "о боже, история 10 из 10, не каждый поймет". Это что-то личное, что автор захотел выставить на показ общественности. Да ещё и денег на этом заработать.(хотя концовка заставила меня усомниться в существовании Коды). Как игра - нет. Интерактивная история - нет.Богатая пища для размышлений - да. Но я бы постеснялся продавать её.

The Stanley Parable'ın yapımcısı olan Davey Wreden ,The Beginner's Guide' ile kendisinin narratörlüğünü yaptığı üzücü bir yaşanmışlığı günlük misali ele alan hikayesiyle karşımızda.

Duygu dolu başyapıt.Oynadıkça yeri gelecek kafanız karışacak yeri gelecek üzülecek yeri gelecek yüzünüzde aptal bir gülümsemeyle kendinizi müziğin akışına bırakacaksınız.Gerçekten Coda'nın ve Davey'nin yaşadığı psikolojik çöküşü her dakikası ve saniyesiyle hissedeceksiniz.

Oyundan çıkarttığım sonuç bazı kişileri olduğu gibi kabullenmemiz, bizim bir şekilde ona yardım etmek istmemiz onlara büyük bir darbe vurabilir ve ters tepebilir.Oyunun sonu türlü türlü teori ve yorumlara açık yani herkes muhakeme edebildiği kadarıyla anlayabiliyor.

Kısacası oyun, gizlice başkasının günlüğünü okumak gibi bir şey.İki kişi arasındaki olayları ne derece duygu yüklü ve anlam kargaşalarıyla dolu oldugunu dinleyerek oynuyoruz. Tam anlamıyla anlamak için sağlam bir ingilizceye sahip olmanız gerekiyor.Kesinlikle tavsiye edilir.

While playing this game I wanted to write a review. I wanted you to know how this game spoke to me like no other game has ever done. I wanted to talk to you about my crippling depression and social anxiety. I wanted to tell you that identify with Coda.

But I can't.

For I am not Coda, I am Davey.

See this is the conundrum I face, If I hit the "post review" button I am vile as Davey. I am seeking validation for my review, for my emotions. If people mark this review as helpful then my experience was not in vain. If I don't hit the button and simply close my tab I will be Coda. I will simply leave because I did not create my artistic work for anyone but myself, this is an outlet for my own creativity.

But I am not creative, I am not Coda. I am Davey and I hate myself.

창작자 - 소비자의 관계에 있어 어떻게든 문제를 겪었고 그 상처가 너무 크다면 플레이 하지 않기를 권함. 게임 창작자를 향한 '입문자 안내''지만 타인과 교류한 경험이 있는 창작자라면 여러가지 의미로 붕괴가 찾아옴. 이 작품 속의 붕괴를 당신은 겪은 적 있으신가요, 또 이겨내셨나요.

웬만하면 사전 정보 일절 없이 바로 플레이 하는 걸 추천함. 꼭 한번쯤은 직접 엔딩을 봤으면 좋겠음. 고갈과 비명, 많은 걸 생각하게 하는 모든 것.

This is amazing. Throughout the game, you will mostly be walking or occasionally pressing levers and other small things like that, but the story this game tells is incredible, and sad at the same time...

Buy it.

The Begginer's Guide is not a game, it is an experience that will leave you thinking for more than a while. The game is incredibly short but I think it is well worth it. I won't say anything so as to not spoil it, but please play it in one sitting, this kind of games can lose a lot if you leave them halfway through and then pick it up after a while.

Ich will voranstellen: Lies die Review am besten nicht. Lies am besten keine Review bevor du das Spiel spielst - spiel es einfach.

Trotzdem? Nun gut - The Beginner's Guide. Wie die meisten habe ich auch Stanley Parable gespielt und gewisse Erwartungen gehabt, die aber bald nicht mehr relevant waren. Wie in vielen Punkten ist es der emotionale Punkt. Es wirkt. Sprache und Design gehen Hand in Hand zu einer für Storys sehr linearen Erzählung, aber für Games unbekannt springend. Was für mich entscheidend war, ist der selbstflexive Punkt - man kann oft gar nicht anders als darüber nachzudenken und auch über sein eigenes Leben. Vor allem bei gewissen Erfahrungen und Einstellungen fühlt man sich extrem angesprochen, zum Teil auch ausgeliefert. Wenn man das Spiel in einer, sagen wir leichten Zwangssituation, einem Stream z.B. spielt, wird der Effekt des Ausgeliefert-Seins noch verstärkt.
Ich könnte noch sehr lange die Gefühle beschreiben, die ich bei dem Spiel hatte, aber es wird zum Teil auch zu persönlich, aber das Spiel hat mich berührt. Die Emotionen sind vielschichtig und es bewegt einen zum Teil extrem subtil, zum anderen sehr direkt und es hallt in einem nach.

Ich will jetzt nicht großartig die Story spoilern, aber auf jeden Fall: Es ist meiner Meinung nach das Geld wert, selbst mit sehr kurzer Spielzeit! Allein weil man sich, denke ich, selbst eine Meinung dazu bilden sollte - nur wer 100% ein zweites Stanley erwartet, tut es nicht - Anleihen und man fühlt auch eine Verbundenheit, aber es ist komplett anders aufgebaut.

Comprei sem saber nada do jogo, só porque era do mesmo criador de Stanley Parable. Acho que nunca fui tão surpreendido ao jogar algo às cegas. Se estiver interessado compre. Se estiver cético, veja o trailer, dá pra ter uma ideia do que o jogo traz. De qualquer forma é uma mensagem(que o autor traz na forma de um apelo) forte, que merece uma hora do seu dia para ouvi-la.

Não é bem o tipo de jogo que você tem na sua biblioteca da Steam, mas é uma experiência única de qualquer forma. Eu não sei se consigo descrever bem o que senti quando terminei o jogo, mas outra review aqui colocou tudo de uma forma bem simples, e que eu com certeza levarei daqui pra frente:

"Não ache que alguém está 'quebrado' só porque você não o entende"

A falta de comunicação é um tema bem explorado em qualquer história. Cria um abismo entre duas pessoas, sendo que as duas o veem, mas não sabem porque ele está ali. Não dá pra por a culpa em ninguém.. algumas pessoas simplesmente não conseguem se comunicar de forma que seja clara para outro. Para isso serve a arte, para tentar veicular uma mensagem onde as palavras falham. Esse jogo, e todos os "jogos" nele contidos, são isso: uma forma de tentar alcançar a pessoa do outro lado do abismo.

It's been a repeated notion, but my attention was brought to this game by Pirate Software, a youtube channel.

I already had this game when I saw his glowing praise of it, but it took me months to actually cave and play it after this.

At the time of playing, I've been haunted by my debilitating anxiety, to a point where even doing things I loved. And while this game didn't give me the solution to my problem, it gave me the perspective of someone who struggled in similar ways, and how I could better myself. Even now I am curious if what I'm extrapolating from this is even right, or if I'm even able to be wrong in how to interpret its message. Nonetheless, it gave me hope. Hope for a future in which any hope seems almost selfish to have, I have hope. Hope that I'll get better, that I'll improve, that I'll do things on my own, that I can be what I want to see happen in the world. Hope. For me. I don't know if it gets better than that.

Mir fehlen gerade die Worte, um dieses Werk zu beschreiben.

Zuerst einmal ist es definitiv anders, als ich es erwartet habe. Außerdem ist es was ganz anderes als The Stanley Parable. Wer also ein Spiel in dieser Art vermutet, ist hier falsch.
Das Spiel ist dennoch sehr gut gemacht und kann einen wirklich zum Nachdenken anregen. Wer nur oberflächlich durchrennt, der wird dieses Spiel vermutlich langweilig finden. Die Personen, die jedoch wirklich auf das, was gesagt wird, achten, die werden sehen, wie tief diese Geschichte eigentlich geht. Ich zumindest habe dieses Spiel mit einem etwas bedrücktem Gefühl beendet.

Zum Schluss ein paar Stichpunkte:
Das Spiel ist, wie in der Beschreibung steht, wirklich nicht sehr lange. Ich habe ca. 1,5 Stunden mit "leichtem Erkunden" gebraucht.
Man kann gegen Mitte/Ende des Spiels eine bedrückte Stimmung bekommen.
Das Spiel beweist Tiefe - es kursieren verschiedene Theorien im Internet zu The Beginners Guide.
Es ist definitv ein gutes Spiel und empfehlenswert.

Después de lo que me gustó Stanley Parable tenía que comprarme este.

Lo primero que hay que decir es que esto no es un juego para cualquiera. En realidad es uno de estos no-juego que a mi me gustan tanto. Si bien Stanley Parable también puede considerarse que es poco juego y que más que nada una sucesión de incidentes que presencias, en The Begineer's Guide es aún más exagerado porque han sustituido toda la libertad (o no) de Stanley y este es un juego en el que no tienes ninguna opción, excepto apagarlo imagino (el juego hasta hace bromas ♥♥♥ esto en algunos puntos).

Si esto te supone un problema, seguramente no debas comprarlo o jugarlo.

El juego se presenta como un recopilatorio de minijuegos creado por un programador (al estilo de algunos creadores en itch.io) en el que esboza ideas que no consigue llevar al punto de ser un videojuego. A este respecto me recuerda al libro "Vacío Perfecto" de Stanislaw Lem, donde hace un análisis de relatos imaginarios, de manera que puede comentar ciertas ideas de cada relato sin tener que construir el relato entero.

A medida que los juegos van pasando te vas adentrando en la mente del Creador de los juegos, sobre todo gracias a la figura del Narrador que te va explicando eventos o enseñandote trucos de los juegos.

El juego se convierte entonces en un diálogo (entre Creador y Narrador, no contigo) sobre creatividad, ansiedad y lo que nos hace sentir completos.

En resumen, mi total recomendación al juego. No es tan delirante ni divertido como Stanley Parable, pero vuelve a ser una bonita experiencia narrativa.

The Stanley Parable is hard to surpass in quality, and both that game and this one are certainly novel in their approach to storytelling. The difference between the two is that The Beginner's Guide has a very particular audience it seeks to reach out to with its story: creatives, those with pangs of self-doubt, the anxious. If you do not fall into these categories, you may find as I did that the game doesn't really provide any value to you. It proceeds along its course, you make your revelations, and then it ends, leaving you with your thoughts and maybe a desire to look up online forums to see if someone "figured it out". Only there's nothing to figure out. If you absolutely adore off-beat games and are willing to spare a few dollars, you may find this game worthwhile. Having just finished it, I think I would rather have the two hours back.

It was my birthday a day ago. I had some money to spend on games, so I look onto my wishlist, grasping my digital forty dollars in my hand.
Two games, Killing Floor 2 and The Beginner's Guide. A real contrast, if anything.
I download the games, yeah, cool, and I hover over the button to play this game. For some reason I stop myself.

Do I know what I'm getting into?

Do I?

I booted it up, played it for a bit, and faintly struggled to put it down after about 4 levels, as I was also intent on playing KF2. Played that awhile, real nice game. But that's not what I'm here for.
A day passes and I sit myself down to play Guide once more, I'd actually felt like I needed to play it, to grasp it, to know what happens.

And... well. Now I've finished it.
I'm not sure on what to think about this game, it's a tale that comes once in a blue moon.

It left me feeling empty, alone, depressed, lonely, somber.
But, ...it gave me something else.

Find it for yourself. Find it in the game.
You'll know once you're there. Trust me.

I admit I was annoyed with this game at first. I found the narrator too pushy with his own opinions.

However. This game is a lot more than that. And If you have the patience to finish the game (only an hour and a half), you will experience a really great story. I have not had a story experience like this in a long time. And I even enjoyed that the game made me annoyed. Because it was trying to tell me something.

I really liked this game a lot.

Uhm.
Why are there tears over me?
Help.


10/10 would question my life again.



Jokes aside, this game... this is not a game. It's an experience. You could say this "game" changed the way I looked at other people, and it's definitely in a positive way.
Buy. Play. Cry.


This game is still awesome.

Beginner's Guide n'est pas un jeu, mais un récit immersif, un journal intime, un essai sur... l'Art ? La question se pose encore.
C'est une courte aventure à travers les jeux atypiques d'un développeur nommé "Coda", dans lesquels nous accompagne un narrateur (créateur de Stanley P.,)
La tonalité est sombre, parfois mélancolique, le coeur du sujet est à la fois insaisissable et profond.
Je n'ai jamais autant eu l'impression d'entrer dans la tête d'un créateur, tout en étant incapable de l'expliquer, l'interpréter.C'est peut être ce qu'il y a de grandiose dans ce "jeu".
C'est peut être ça qui vous laissera méditer quelques temps après l'avoir fini.

最为重要的旁白部分没有字幕,英语听力不好的慎入(不过词汇简单,语速适中,并不难听懂)。
《史丹利的寓言》(下简称《寓言》)的作者的又一款作品。如同《寓言》,是一款“语音驱动”的游戏;一款不能说,只能玩的作品;一款购买后只想玩一次,却打算给别人推荐无数次的作品。
但与《寓言》又不同。
《寓言》更多地是思考游戏的本质,去戏谑和讨论游戏中最为重要的“抉择“,讨论游戏与玩家的互动。
而《The Beginner's Guide》(直译《新手指南》,下简称《指南》)是一款思考游戏与制作人的游戏。此处的”新手“不是指玩家,而是指游戏制作人(私以为更多地是指独立游戏制作人),名为”指南“,其实也没有明确指向,更多地是抛出问题,带出思考。
什么是游戏?为什么做游戏?游戏应该是什么样的?需不需要可玩性?游戏是给人玩的吗?游戏需要被理解吗?该向大众推广自己的游戏吗?一系列的问题,没有解答,也无需解答。
  • 如果你喜欢游戏,请买下它并玩一遍。
  • 如果你喜欢读书,请买下它并玩一遍。
  • 如果你对生活感到压力,请买下它并玩一遍。
  • 如果你觉得自己需要独处,请买下它并玩一遍。
  • 如果你是游戏开发者,请买下它并玩一遍。
  • 无论你是谁,在玩过一遍前都不要看任何文字剧透。
  • 短则一小时,长则两小时的流程,但它值这个价格。
##以下涉及剧透,除非你确定自己一辈子都不会去玩这个游戏,否则请玩完再看##
当我写完这篇评测时,我突然意识到自己也是旁白的心态。
我着急,我孤独,我贫困,所以我在这个游戏中感到慰藉。
这个machine曾带给我意义。
于是我向大家推荐这个游戏。
所以我也毁了这个游戏。
给这个游戏带入过多的意味和思考。
何尝不是逃脱的囚犯给过去的自己建议?
逃离囚禁之后是否真的有所不同?
我是否也在强迫Coda给游戏加入路灯?
我是否也在改变Coda对游戏的初衷?
我写了这么些字,
也在对着这个不愿转动的machine疯狂开枪。
也是在摧毁整个Coda的世界。
同时还伤害了它的制作人。

The Begginer´s Guide, un juego dificil de hablar, ni siquiera creo que lo haya comprendido del todo, pero que da mucho de si, y creo que muchos articulos interesantes van a salir a raiz de este juego y si el mundo va bien sobretodo más juegos interesantes.

Es una experiencia bastante recomendable, sobretodo si quieres dejar de pegar tiros, sentarte un rato, y observar que potencial tienen los videojuegos más allá del triple AAA y sobretodo observar que no todo esta inventado, que hay gente que aún tiene cosas que decir y que se puede aprender de otros.

No es un juego para todos,debido a que no es una experiencia ¨divertida¨,sin embargo no llega a hacerse pesado; se podria definir como un First Person Walker, pero sin embargo si que creo que vale la pena echarle un ojo, aunque luego te disguste la experiencia, por que por lo menos el juego te invita a pensar y ver un poco más allá, algo como lo que hacía ya ♥♥♥ The Stanley Parable pero de una forma más seria.

I loved The Stanley Parable, but this title just seems too pretentious. It tries to tell a deep story by letting the player walk through Source Engine levels of increasing complexity - or rather detail. The narration is good, but the whole thing just seems fake and gets boring pretty quick.

Мне трудно сказать, почему игра стоит себя, случайно не повлияв на впечатления этим самым текстом перед прохождением. Вся суть прекрасно передана в описании к игре и в её трейлере, доверьтесь им и если они вас устраивают - вперёд.

Не смотрите в спойлер, пока не пройдёте.

Неважно, геймдизайнер вы или кто-либо ещё - если вы приняли посыл автора, то уже стали лучшим человеком.

Если поначалу казалось что игра слабее оригинальной истории о Стенли, то сейчас могу заявить, что я ошибся. Их трудно сравнить, однозначно нельзя сказать, что игра хуже, нет, их просто трудно сравнить, одно точно - игра пробьет вас на эмоции. Автор опять смог "выбить" из игрока чувства. Через абсурд, сюрреализм, странные диалоги и ситуации нам расскажут историю. Историю, после прохождения которой, вы сядете и задумаетесь - "что это было?".

Most typical games I've ever played generally had an objective or a set rules within it's parameters that I could identify or have an inkling as to what is to be expected. Whether it be reach from one objective to another, slay object A or B, save this or complete this quest to proceed. Despite my curious nature to always guess or assume what direction a game will take I was glad I was unable to even fathom what this piece of art provided me. This game while simplistic in nature had a powerful underlying message/tone about one's perspective and loneliness. I've been reminded in this adventure to never jump to conclusions as misunderstandings are the root of conflict.

Very few games left me so conflicted and alone yet satisfied. I hunger for more.

Read as little as possible when deciding to purchase this game. If you are a creator in any sense of the word you will enjoy it. Don't let other reviews or comments spoil any aspect of this. Much like The Stanley Parable it's best to go in not knowing what to expect, so take the word of either myself or one of the many other positive reviews here and buy it. Take a leap of faith and start a brief, yet incredibly intriguing journey that no other video game can offer.

玩过这个游戏后,一向死宅的我决定出去走走,因为我需要思考。真正地,静心地思考。它不是无脑的快餐作品,更像是80分钟的文艺片,讲述了一个故事....一个每个人都有不同感想的故事。
它也许不是游戏,80分钟后通关后完全没有留下来的必要。但是,它给我的感触,不像是漫天铺地的心灵鸡汤,也不是文学大家的恢宏巨作,不是疾病,战争,死亡一类的深沉话题,而是活在现代社会的人的感受,一种孤独。
我不能在此发表我的感想,因为你的游戏需要你自己去体验。

I'm not really sure how I feel about the game. But it certainly got me thinking about stuff.
The game description surprisingly explains it better than I can.

"It lasts about an hour and a half and has no traditional mechanics, no goals or objectives. Instead, it tells the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand."

It's definitely a journey. Made me think about stuff.
How you react to the game would depend on you personally. Isn't that interesting though? How different people can experience the same thing, yet the reaction to it can be so wildly different?

If you're ready for a short journey, then definitely check it out.
You'll either hate it, find it interesting, perhaps find it confusing, or it'll touch you deeply and make you think about some stuff.
I found it more confusing than anything else, but I'll still recommend this thing.

This game is Santa Claus for gamers. I think that's fitting. It's really special, and it seems everyone reacts to it differently. I'd recommend it just to see how YOU react. Maybe on sale though. $10 for an hour and a half is pushy.

この作品をプレイしてから数日、憂鬱感から抜けられませんでした。
二人の人物の心からの悲痛なほどの叫びが、痛いほど伝わってくる内容です。
二人は別人ではなく、一人の創作者の中に同時に存在する矛盾したものだと私は解釈しています。だからこそ苦しく、悲しみが伴うのだと思うのです。
これが他プレイヤーにとって不快になるのも、ゲームとして楽しめない理由も理解できます。
しかし、ゲームという枠を広げて表現をし作り上げた事に、敬意を表する以外にありません。
プレイ後半はとても辛い心境で進ませましたが、出会えて良かった作品だと心から思いました。有難うございます。

Well, as a game developer, if you are in a certain point in life, have certain feelings and you struggle. I do understand why people are affected by this game. But if you feel the opposite, compare to what the person you "play", and actually play as a game developer. You end up feeling sad for those people. But there are several lessons to learn. Hopefully most people see it after testing this, and practice it in real life.

我们到底对现代游戏的期待是什么,可玩性?可理解性?玩家身份的沉浸感?而创作者对于游戏这一媒介的态度又是什么,引擎基础上的环境编辑?一段有意义的体验?还是游戏作为游戏可成为的任何东西?

如果是《史丹利》是探讨玩家和创作者之间的张拉关系下创作出来的黑色幽默,《入门》更像是Davey在思考游戏这一媒介本身传达意义的行为而诞生的一曲悲歌。解读是无力的,评测也是无力的,因为玩家的身份在这个游戏里是存疑的。当我们的体验在第一人称的载体上反复拓展时,体验的同时也在质疑体验的意义,解读的同时也在解释自己的解读。但他的基调是如此的诗意而哀伤,似乎如同那些不可及的宇宙之底,不可及的房间,不可及的墙外,现代游戏的未来似乎没有那条出现bug的射线,他们终将消失在一个编绘的demo之中。

但我想行这款2015年的游戏还是能激励任何时候的创作者,尤其是游戏行业的探索者。最起码,《入门》对游戏性表达非常清晰,他传达的概念,虽然big picture很模糊,但细节上依旧简单有效,且富于灵感。对于“你想让玩家玩什么”这个问题,确实是每一个入门从业者最开始需要思考的问题,而这个方面你将在《入门》里获益良多。

刚开始的莫名其妙,到最后道歉时的触动,这个游戏对我来说还是有很多共鸣点的,我也曾是那种对别人关心过度以至于干扰的人,随着游戏的推进重温了当年的心理历程,到最后又是激光脱出地图,慢慢上升到太空,心里有种说不上来的感觉。开发者的叙事手法一如既往的高明。

I can't recommend this enough as a shining example of genius narrative writing. Mr. Wreden has an amazing talent for crafting worlds and scenarios that get the player invested. I played this about a week before launch and was so upset I couldn't talk about what I had experienced, because it left me in awe and made me want to hug the nearest person I could find. The story is fascinating, unexpected, and leaves you with a lot to think about by the end. It's one of the best narratives I've ever been a part of, if not the best.

If any of what you've seen interests you, please, like with The Stanley Parable, don't spoil the content for yourself. You're not at all going to get the experience from watching someone else play it, and that's not an exaggeration. Please, if you have the money and are interested, just trust that you'll enjoy what you get and dive right in.

voice-over driven game已经变成Davey Wreden的个人特色了吗。本作相比史丹利的寓言少了一些幽默与戏谑,加入了更多的思考与阐释,但是反思与娱乐元素的比例有点过于悬殊了。不是很喜欢这种趋势。

Настолько же полно воплощает уникальный стиль и подход автора, насколько это делает The Stanley Parable. И хотя в каких-то деталях композиция и постановка не позволяют отделаться от ощущения некоторой хромоты и непрофессиональности, практически никто больше не работает в жанре игры-притчи хотя бы настолько же профессионально. Почти никто не делает из своих произведений настолько же законченные авторские высказывания и не заставляет настолько же отчетливо ощутить, что игровая индустрия может быть настоящим камерным искусством.

From the creator of the Stanley Parable comes The Beginner's Guide, a narrative story based first-person game within multiple games. In the game, you are... well, you, and you're guided around by Davey Wreden through 17 chapters that totals about an hour and a half of play time. Each chapter is a different game that Coda, Davey's friend and fellow game developer, created but never released. This title utilizes the Source engine, and it definitely has a Half-Life/Counter Strike movement and aesthetic to some of the levels.

However, the gameplay is not the important factor in this title; it is in fact, the story and ultimately your interpretation of it, that is the main focus. Even after completing the game, I'm not sure that Coda is indeed a real person, but there are three possibilities here; either Coda is a real person, Coda is a fictional person, or Coda is actually Davey himself. Most of the levels are very abstract, and people with an artistic mindset will see and come up with their own interpretation of each, although Davey banters his ideas and beliefs of each level design throughout the game.

Unfortunately, I cannot go in to too much detail plot-wise, as doing so will ultimately end up spoiling the ending and the twist that lies within it. What I can say, is that this game did appeal to me on a personal level. Coda is a very introverted, reserved individual, just like myself. He often gets mistaken for being lonely and depressed, as many reserved introverts do, and I must say I have been viewed in this manner also. Some people just prefer to be a quiet, lone wolf in this life, and Davey doesn't necessarily realize this until he's crossed the thick line of what is acceptable human interaction to Coda.

If you're a person who doesn't understand, or know how to take, the actions, reservations, and general distance of introverted, quiet, loner types, this game may help you to do so. The Beginner's Guide helps to establish, recognize, and define the boundaries that people with these personality types have, and even though they may be into what other people deem as "depressing", "dark", or "signals for help", it may just be you reading too much in to it, and pushing them out of their comfort zone is the worst thing you could possibly do. The game really is what it says it is, a beginner's guide, but to what is actually up to you. For me, it was a guide to understand how people may view me, as I identified heavily with Coda without ever actually having seen him in the game, just from Davey's description of him. You, on the other hand, may associate more with Davey who is trying to understand what he doesn't understand about his friend.

Overall, The Beginner's Guide is a solid story told within the time frame of an hour and a half. The optimization is excellent, and the game ran at 144Hz for me the entire time with no crashes. The audio, both ambient and narrative, are very high quality. There's not much in the way of controls, save for walking around and the same simple puzzle that you will solve a handful of times. Is it worth $10.99 CAD? Well, I personally don't think so, but I also got this title in a Humble Bundle for a dollar. For some, it may be an eye opening experience, for others, it may tell them what they already know. If you don't enjoy a decent narrated story that's basically a walking simulator, you're not going to enjoy this title so look elsewhere. For everyone else, it's alright.

Rating: 3.0/5.0 - Average, can take it or leave it.

一周目评价,二周目后再来更。

我觉得Davey把作者和作品的地位弄反了,你可以通过一个作者去解读作品,解读作者的创作意图,但你不可以通过作者的作品来解读作者本人。
为了更好地理解作品的创作意图,考据创作背景诚然是有价值的。
之前,我在网上看到相关传言,说是Ryan(这部游戏的作者,同时也是《史丹利的寓言》的作者)曾经参加过一个访谈,在访谈上提及自己创作这个作品的背景是和曾经南加大的同学闹掰了,“你让我从生理上感到恶心”这句话也正是这位同学的原话。
基于考据,我在油管上用各种词汇排列组合搜索了视频,找到的唯一一个相关的Ryan的采访视频提到了他的创作经历,南加大的一些友人,但是没有提到这段经历(可能是我漏过了?)
但是Ryan的确写过一个他《史丹利的寓言》获奖后的一些个人感言,其中有一段话:“Largely this is because in those months, so much attention was directed at the game and at me personally. And while I could not even begin to put into words how utterly grateful and astonished and humbled I am by the enormous response to Stanley Parable (all of you are the reason I can now devote my life to this kind of work), those months after launch were intensely intensely stressful.”
大意是他自从《史丹利的寓言》获奖后,面对许多人从他的游戏上升到他的本人的言论,很不安。

Lo he jugado sin leer nada sobre el videojuego, solo sabía que no era convencional.

Es un viaje interesante por la mente del autor, pero no he conseguido empatizar demasiado, posiblemente porque es una visión muy personal, contada de una manera original, aunque demasiado abstracta.

No tengo nada en contra ♥♥♥ este tipo de videojuegos. Del mismo autor, he jugado y disfrutado muchísimo de Stanley Parable, pero en el caso de The Beginner's Guide no he conseguido conectar de la misma forma.

Mi interpretación es que trata sobre la lucha interna que tiene el autor cuando crea un videojuego y debe enfrentarse a la aceptación de otros, de cómo eternamente se encuentra en ese dilema.

Me he debatido mucho para decidir si recomendaría o no este videojuego, finalmente he decidido que Sí. Creo que, apostar por ideas personales, sin vergüenza ni complejos y ejecutadas de manera excepcionalmente original, merecen una oportunidad. A pesar de ser difícilmente comprendidas.

As a story, it is really intriguing and emotional. I was quickly pulled in to the narrative and started to care for the people involved as if I actually knew them. The story feels so human and it probably hits close to home for a lot of people who hear the story. They all have someone like this in their life and having that relationship shown to you in way where you can experience both of the perspectives and walk around in it like a dream, it's a familiar story told in a unique and emotional way. There were several moments that were hitting very hard and I needed to stop and think for a few minutes before I could move on to the next chapter/level.

As a game, there isn't much to say. It's a walking simulator with little to no challenges, perfect for delivering a story. I liked the option to turn off narration so I could explore the levels alone, but some levels are impassable unless the narrator tells you the key input to get through.

I still replay this every few months as it's a story I need to remember to stay human. Every time I play this I feel even more than I did the last time. It's something that needs to be experienced.

玩完了。当初是趁着这是史丹利的预言的作者做的游戏,于是想来玩玩看。前半段一如既往的黑色幽默麻痹了我,于是我依然按照玩史丹利的玩法,边走边截图拍照,心思全放在鉴赏作者那一如既往的惊世骇俗的美术水准上。当我心不在焉地想旁白最终会怎么挽救他抑郁自闭的朋友时,我并不觉得这个作品会有多么好,甚至觉得会落入俗套,走向无聊的结局——我感觉这很有可能会给“那可是做出经久不衰的史丹利的预言的人”的光荣称号落下一个污点。但我想错了,《新手指南》仍然如同《史丹利的预言》一般震撼了我,甚至比后者更加震撼——无论恰到好处的黑色幽默,画面的艺术感,还是故事想讲述的深刻的立意,那令人出乎意料的故事的真相——勿需多言,我想只有自己体会才能知道。

Нет ни навязчивой философии, ни графической приманки, ни громких обещаний.

People argued over whether this is a true story or not but that had no impact on what I got out of the game. It is a short but really good piece of interactive art I would recommend everyone to try, just don't come into it expecting anything like his other game.

Well that was interesting.

The kind of game where you say "if that is non-fiction as claimed, then it is awful and should not be played."

Yet since it is assuredly a fictional tale disguised in the clever and insightful trappings of a non-fictional experience, I highly recommend it. Even if it is indeed only barely a game in the traditional sense (perhaps moreso than Dear Esther, certainly less-so than the Telltale Games games).

Je pense que son interprétation seras différentes pour chaque joueurs.

Pour ma pars c’est magnifique et profond, voir même angoissant.
Une fois l’histoire terminer on te renvoie au menu principal et je me suis dis par pitié faite que ça ne sois pas terminé.

En gros un chef d’oeuvre mais pour certaine personnes uniquement.

Kind of wish Steam had a neutral option but having played this through, I'm afraid I would not recommend it to my past self.

To start, advertising that can feel misleading: Attaching the Stanley Parable name to this game just fools people into thinking there are choices, or maybe even a bit of humour or wallbreaking.
The Beginner's Guide is the opposite. It's you, a narrator and a selection of one-way corridors.

The trailer in the store page makes it seem that as a player I would start this game and be presented with multiple snippets of games to play in any order and piece together an understanding of the creator through them to interpret as I like.
In actuality the narrator picks which games (or rather short corridors) you go through and forces an idea of the creator on to you. Think of it like an English teacher at school who overanalyses a book to the nth degree putting meanings that never existed to add a depth that just isn't there.

While this forced viewpoint is given a twist at the end, the suspension of disbelief required to believe this story was simply too high to me.

I can see where people would enjoy such an experience but I would prefer a bit more clarity in showing people what they are getting into first.

Já aviso que o jogo não é para todos, pois tem uma história que te deixa bem pra baixo.

Eu não tenho problemas com histórias tristes no geral, mas esse jogo me deixou com um nó na garganta, porque acredito que qualquer pessoa possa se identificar com os problemas abordados.
Ele conta os problemas e pensamentos que as pessoas não gostam de discutir, como elas se veêm no mundo, como outras pessoas nos olham, nossas inseguranças e como pensamos sobre nossos fracassos.

Ele é mais um filme interativo que um jogo por si só, mas nos envolve muito e nos faz pensar sobre como nos vemos e até como vemos outras pessoas.

Normalmente em jogos vemos a história dos vencedores, como eles conquistam as coisas e como todos (a maioria) amam eles por isso, esse jogo aborda o outro lado da moeda, e como mesmo com o sucesso, podemos nos sentir incompletos.

É um jogo que te faz pensar, e se quiser alguma experiência diferente em um jogo, eu recomendo ele totalmente.

Me ha dejado roto. Me estaba gustando en sí, la arquitectura y el uso del espacio en cada mini-juego es excepcional y a veces estéticamente llamativo. Hay ideas interesantes en algunos, a nivel narrativo y de mecánicas. Pero la gran historia es la meta narrativa del juego. Y de hecho me he quedado frío porque pensaba por el trailer que era un poco distinto. No vas a elegir juegos de una carpeta como allí. Es todo lineal. Pero vamos, el juego es brillante, y el trailer llega a formar parte de la metanarrativa de lo que trata.

Took me about 100 minutes to complete. The game crashed only once close to the end.
With all the hype reviews I were expecting a lot. Due to this I was let down. Don't get me wrong, it's a good piece of work, but it's not Stanley Parable good. It also feels like the edgy darkness is forced towards the end. 5/10

How can you review this game?
The Beginner's Guide
is something beyond the norm. Which gameplay elements can you properly review about it?

Is it walking? Left clicking on the mouse? Cause that's all about the gameplay you'll find in The Beginner's Guide.

Yet, it's still an immensely powerful experience. It is something abstract yet at the same time incredibly specific and familiar for some people.

You could argue that at the very core, this is the definition of a walking simulator and regardless of any negative connotation the genre's very own name might have had in the past, even classifying The Beginner's Guide as any type of game genre would be doing the creative thought and work that was put into the game a huge disservice.

The Beginner's Guide is an interactive experience. It is a series of short levels where the narrator, the creator of The Stanley Parable Davey Wreden, remembers and tells a story about events that transpired with his 'friend' Coda, a game developer, during 2008-2011. Regardless of the real or fictitious nature of the events, there's an important message underlying throughout the game.

The are many different interpretations of the game's meaning but what ultimately matters is your own. Call me old-fashioned but I'm a firm believer that you must play a game before you form an opinion on it.

And despite the fact it lasts for no more than 90 minutes, despite the primary telling of the story is via an unreliable narrator trope, despite there's very few interactivity for the player, despite it does get a bit weird at times and too mundane at others, despite the old age of the source engine, despite that some of its meaning in particular about game development might be lost for many of us, despite all of that, The Beginner's Guide is a game I would consider art.

It is something unique, something abstract, something that makes the player think above and beyond rather than how to stealth kill a guard, or how to micromanage that squad, or which spells are on cooldown. I'm not saying those things are not fun. All I'm saying is that not every game has to be about them. Couple that with a superb sound design and soundtrack, and you're on a trip down emotion lane.

And that's the ultimate beauty of the The Beginner's Guide. It's not just about your thoughts, but also about what you feel. What emotions you experience are part of your own reality. I think that's is a mark of the brilliant albeit bizarre experience that the game has to offer.

I could write an entire essay on the inner workings and messages that the game features but it would be all for naught. So I'll keep it simple:

For 90 minutes, you'll embark on a small journey inside the psyche of a troubled person. If there's a good chance it might be you, then do not miss on this opportunity. An absolute recommendation.

It's long, prepare yourself.

Firstly (standard start) this isn’t really a game this is essentially an art piece, and the nature of “art” creates a natural magnetism for controversy, argument and pretentiousness. Everyone will take something different from it. It isn’t particularly definitive, It's more open, almost philosophical, and meta in a way which tangles within itself and with its developer.

I first saw The Beginner’s Guide years ago, watching a friend over discord. I enjoyed it but I never fully got it. Every now and then I think “what was that about?”, try to remember how it plays out, can’t, so re-watch a playthrough on YouTube. I have done this several times now. I couldn’t put my finger on it. On its basic level, I understand it and what happens, but something was a bit off to me, there was some part of this that just didn't feel like it connected.

I think it’ll be impossible to talk about this game without spoiling it, so if you still want to play it don’t read on.

Davey Introduces himself, we know him to be a real person so immediately this game is made personal. The narrator wants to teach you about a creator via his work. This part of the overall experience is actually quite fun. You are shown through a digital art gallery, and your guide shares his interpretations on the motive behind the work. You know that he is making assumptions, but his assumptions are reasonable, and he knows this person, doesn’t he? He is coming up with theories, asking questions, and you’re encouraged to think about the idea and process of creation, of the natures of art, how you think about these things, how we interact with, and learn off of each other, and how much you can really know about someone through their art.

The game then takes the foundation out from under your feet, up to this point we thought what Davey was saying was true and this was a pre-determined story. As you approach the end, it starts making a U-turn, we find out that the creator stopped making his games because of the narrator. He would change them to fit his narrative and share it against the creators will. Now you wonder what we actually know about the creator and just how much of the experience up to this point was altered.

The narrative shifts from past tense, a fixed story, to the present tense, with Davey seemingly realising that he's the problem. You are no longer a part of the narrative, It is no longer personal, the narrator is no longer there to guide you. He is directly addressing the creator. You have no part in this, you feel like someone who has found themselves in the room as two people argue. You, if anything, feel a bit intrusive. This is a big contrast to the start of the game, where you were welcomed in to be shown around. You float around, listening to Davey plead to himself for the creator to come back, as he isn’t the narrator without anything to narrate. He admits this whole thing was an attempt to reach out for the creator by again showcasing his work. He has not only not learned from the creator leaving him initially, but in desperation is willing to make the same mistakes again. Slowly, he realises his mistakes, and leaves, leaving you on your own.

So what bugged me? The continuity issue of first being told of a set purpose, of showing a friends work, and then it completely going back on itself and Davey re-labelling it as an apology to the creator. This suggests that he knows the entire time what is at the top of that tower and the real reason why he is there. So how do you justify the change in narrative? It doesn’t make sense given the fact that the twist unravels by changing from past to present tense. The twist doesn’t make sense as you can’t play it off as him “realising” in real time what has actually happened, when you know that he already knows what is at the top of that tower.

If it was made so that during his tour he got to the top of the tower, said he has never managed to get in there and suddenly thought of a way to get in, then that would make sense, because that would of been a real-time realisation. He could then plead and apologise, also realising that he had again did what drove coda away in the first place.

The moral nonetheless is not to mess with other people’s processes for selfish reasoning, that you can’t expect someone else to be what brings value to yourself as a person, and you need to respect people’s boundaries to maintain healthy relationships.

What adds a level of interest though is the developer, Davey Wreden. When I play a good indie game which contains a faint reflection of the developer(s), of which brings character to their game, I'm sometimes compelled to follow. I'll see if they have made anything else, and every now and then I’ll go back and check again. If they have a website, I’ll read it. If there is anything fun to find, I’ll look for it.
After playing The Stanley Parable (a while after it came out) I did this, I figured someone who could create a game like that had character. It wasn’t long before I came across Davey’s humorously put together website. In his blog he mentioned his troubles with mental illness, and how the overwhelming success of The Stanley Parable not only gave him a lot of attention, but despite people congratulating him, he didn’t feel success, but rather, fear that he now had something to live up to. The Stanley Parable had won some kind of award, and he wrote about how he thinks he should feel, but how he was actually quite worried of the pressures he was feeling standing in that spotlight (this isn’t quote by quote, but it was along these lines).

Considering this you can see a lot of these themes reflected in “Coda’s” games. The press, the stage, the fear of running out of ideas. "Coda", who we eventually figure out isn’t a real person, has the same reflection of creativity and character that I saw in The Stanley Parable, and therefore Davey. Coda seems to reflect the real Davey. There is two characters in this story, so Davey in the game is also a reflection of Davey in real life. You could easily believe that these two characters are two different & conflicting parts of Davey, that this whole game is a story of inner conflict & struggle.

I only considered this because of stumbling onto that blog years ago, and I prefer this perspective. The game on its own has a moral and message, but I didn’t particularly feel much from it. A personal inner struggle however, is something I think just about any human can relate to, and yet that story isn't accessible without external context.

The irony with this perspective is that you assume about Davey Wreden and what things in the game represents him, all in a similar way that Davey in the game makes about Coda (a difference here is that Davey has openly expressed his feelings in real life for you to make assumptions off of, but still).
I personally saw the game as shallow, and I thought it seemed unlike this dev to make a shallow game. Remembering the blog and creating a new perspective on the game felt more “fitting” of an experience from this dev. But again, this is assumption towards Davey, as if I know him because of his games. He could of just made something shallow....
...or he could of done all of this on purpose. Who knows?

I do really like this game. Davey continues to intrigue as a developer. I have no doubt that I will still follow him to see what he comes up with next. I find him an interesting character, and because of this I feel like anything that he puts even the tiniest bit of himself in, will be interesting. I also hope he manages to find peace within himself if he hasn’t already.

and it's beautiful

When your 9th grade english teacher tried to make you "find the deeper meaning" in a book written 500 years ago, this game is the feeling you should have gotten instead.

Well... Words fail me. I just finished the game with tears in my eyes. I don't know how to explain what I feel, this game left me in an absolute emotional blur: I lost all my bearings. Thoughts, an OST to die for, the discovery of an incredible universe and story.
I am aware that this game will not appeal to everyone, but personally, I come out of this experience completely confused.

I recommend it. For up to an hour and a half of gameplay, it's worth the price.

I really appreciate a game that makes you feel real emotions and this one fulfilled me with some deep thoughts. Very simple yet so meaningful, I wouldn't call it a "game" tho since it's more an experiencing rather than the standard games we are used to. The soundtrack is great and combined with the narrator speech creates a great environment. Don't let the random vibe from the trailer stop you from experience this game and give it an opportunity.

This is a short game with a huge story. Its an amazing voice driven narrative that detaches from the game industry, on what means to make game.

This game trows you in a mind journey on what is the point in helping a friend, and ultimately, makes you wonder how can something be so meaningless, yet so meaningful.

In conclusion, if art its the transcendence of human emotions and feelings, then this game it's absolutely a masterpiece.

Simplesmente um dos melhores jogos que já joguei se não o melhor.
Nota: 10/10 História emocionante, tente não chorar amigo já que vai ter emoções e momentos que nunca irá esquecer.
Porém se for um jogador de apenas FPS, nem pense em comprar, já que não sairá por ai matando bichos, se é que voce ao menos vai correr, o legal da história é apreciar a genialidade do Coda.


Recomendo d++++

Compré este juego ciegamente, sólo porque era del creador de The Stanley Parable. No es lo que esperaba, pero, a la vez, es mucho más. Es una especie de biografía no autorizada, ♥♥♥ mezcla de narrativa experimental y auto-análisis. Realmente lo recomiendo si quieren jugar algo distinto, porque esto es una muestra más de que los juegos pueden ser algo más que el shooter futurista o el sandbox de toda la vida; sino una manera más de expresión.

Una experiencia muy interesante, asi es como me gusta definir a The Beginner's Guide.
Realmente a nivel gameplay no destaca en nada, nos limitamos a seguir un camino (en la mayoria de veces, bastante abstracto y sin sentido) hasta pasar al siguente juego y de vez en cuando interactuamos ♥♥♥ NPC's y algunos objetos. Lo interesante es ver a los juegos desde una perspectiva un tanto distinta, adentrarse un poco en la mente de los desarrolladores de juegos. No es un titulo que den ganas de rejugar, sin embargo es bueno para ponerte a pensar un rato en que pues, no todo es tan bonito como parece en este mundo jugabilistico.

I have difficulty in deciding whether or not I liked this game, and I finally arrived at the conclusion that I did not.

Let me start with what it does do. It's novel. The storytelling is unique. The ride is emotionally complex. I haven't played a game like it before.

However, I dislike this title because it's so open-ended that its brains fall out. I found the ending quite incomplete, and I come away from the game unsure whether or not I'm better for having played it. The game lacks conviction and tries to say too much at once for its short playtime. To put it bluntly, I can also come up with a complex list of themes and ideas without further development.

Not to put down others for enjoying, but this game is too abstract for me and thus loses its impact. It strikes me as a bit of a mess. I can't say that I had fun, and I believe that games should be fun.

As someone whose image has been a google search result for some years, I am intimately familiar with the idea that once you have created/shared something on the internet, it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to everyone.

I think the same can be said for a videogame. Once a creator has made something, it belongs to everyone.

So the message I took away from this game seemed a bit pretentious. If you make something and share it, other people will be affected by it. Will take it and change it's shape. Will share it again.

That's the way the world works.

That's not condoning plagarism, of course. Owner's rights should be given to an individual that created something, but they can't reserve the right to have their work not be interpreted by anyone they choose to share it with.

That's stupid.

So this game? It's a fun piece of fiction. An interactive matinee. But as a game developer myself I have trouble relating with the core message, or at least what my interpretation of it was.

So if the game's goal was to make me think: Mission accomplished. It was worth the entrance fee for that. But I hesitate to recommend it to others. But I suppose I will, because I'm glad I had the chance to think about what the game meant, and others deserve that experience.

If there's some hidden meaning that I'm missing out on, then I wish the game would have tried harder to clue me in on it.

Не знаю, существует ли Coda, реальный ли это человек, или это сам Davey, но получилась одна из лучших историй. Бесподобный нарратив о творце, который старается делать то, что любит больше всего на свете, но боится показать результаты миру. Кризис творчества и дружбы, поиск себя и самокопание - вот о чем эта история. Как и Stanley Parable игра оставила исключительно положительные впечатления. Категорически рекомендую.

之前玩史丹利的时候还觉得就是个比较取巧的galgame,玩了这个才发现这作者游戏叙事的功底是真的深厚。他这个剧本单拿出来估计根本没人看得到最后,然后里面的游戏单拿出来显然也都是垃圾。但是他巧妙地将二者结合以后,硬是持续吸引了玩家一个多小时的注意力,尾收得也很漂亮。这个叙事能力可以说是现在的顶尖水准了,他以后的游戏出一部我买一部。

Coda内心的独白,何尝不是游戏的全部?亦或是我们?

coda也可能只是在做"游戏"
"游戏"对他来说是发泄自己内心的一种方式

现在还没搞懂为什么这样一款游戏会触及我深处的心灵。
大概是。。。孤独吧

Total krass, das Spiel ist gar kein Spiel, sondern soll nur aufzeigen wie toll eine andere Person ist und wie schlecht man selbst sein kann und das man aus Fehlern erst sehr spät lernt, oder sich selbst auf Kosten von anderen besser fühlt, was übrigens ganz gut die heutige Gesellschaft wiederspiegelt, wenn man mich fragt.

Ich verstehe es also so: dieses "Spiel" ist mehr eine Entschuldigung als alles andere und dient gleichzeitig und trotzdem der Unterhaltung. Für mich war das eine unglaublich interessante Erfahrung, aber auch stellenweise etwas unangenehm, vielleicht hält es einem auch etwas den Spiegel vor. Das Spiel ist gute 1,5 bis maximal 2 Stunden lang und es bietet viel Spielraum für Interpretation.

Игра показалась мне довольно депрессивной. Остаётся неприятное чувство тяжести. Как и предыдущая игра, эта сделала меня усталым от прохождения, но за гораздо меньшее время. Не понятно, основана ли эта игра на реальных событиях целиком, или это игра рассказывает нам лишь о самом её создателе и его диалоге с самим собой, а может это целиком художественный вымысел. Вероятно, люди найдут в ней много смысла, гораздо больше, чем возможно в ней есть на самом деле и я с удовольствием гляну на их теории. Не назвал бы эту игру шедевром, слишком уж не люблю я это слово, особенно по отношению к играм. Наверняка из неё сделают большое дело, при том не факт, что она заслуживает такой популярности, ибо она на любителя. Если так и случится, то это пойдёт игре только в минус. Идея показывать внутренний мир человека через его творчество не нова, но в таком формате встречается впервые, полагаю, хотя по сути любые игры, сделанные в одиночку дают некоторое представление о человеке. В игре много интересных задумок и сюрреализма, она может доставлять удовольствие как минимум в плане эстетики, поэтому игра мне все же скорее понравилась, чем нет.

我不想装深沉,我不想在一段无感的游戏体验之后,还硬要说出一番人生感悟。
《斯坦利语言》是神作,我不是在跟风。但是这部作品真的平淡无奇,没有创意。

步行模拟+视(听)觉小说-选择权

这次旁白完全是在自说自话,因为这次他忽略了玩家的存在,不仅仅是在玩家没有选择权上。而且作者这么做,不是为了凸显“作者要表达什么”这个的主题,这点大家都感受得到。
恕我直言,相比上一个作品,这部作品就是退化。

如果说《斯坦利寓言》是一个与你谈笑风生的长者(+1s),他在意你的想法,懂得去和你交流,他不直白地向你灌输一个理念,而是在无形中让你明白一些道理。那么《新手指南》表现出来的就像是一个自大者,他一直在告诉你他怎么想,他发现了一个多么深刻的道理。

我不否认,本作想要表达的内涵的确值得深思。但是,在方式上彻底失败了。能够知道作者想在游戏体验上创新,但是却改变了游戏作为艺术一种形式的的核心——电影通过场景的刻画和演员的演绎,小说通过作者的文字和读者的想象,音乐通过节奏的急缓和旋律的变化如此等等,而游戏则是通过制作者的图像,声音,氛围与游戏者的交互体验来表现的。换句话说,游戏的魅力有超过一半是在玩家身上得以体现的。正如此类游戏我所做的分类“玩家与设计者”,可惜此作为了表达而忽略了对象,真的是很遗憾。我更情愿叫他互动电影,而不是游戏。

而最后我想说的是,给此作差评,是因为我相信作者能力极高,我认为《斯坦利寓言》是神作,但是这篇作品不应该只是这个样子。
值得一玩,但是我不推荐。好评我认为出自对作者的盲目崇拜,好比看久商业片的人看了几部文艺片,觉得自己很深沉一样。

4/10


2018/10/30
现在回头看来,这个测评评论下我很赞同的一句话就是“这款游戏本身也许就体现了作者的反思:有的游戏是给自己做的,而不是为了迎合玩家,让玩家体验更好而做的。”(蓬莱山輝夜 2016年11月8日下午1:48 )可能我的确没有get到游戏的这个点,但是我还是坚持我的想法,“游戏有一半的魅力是在玩家身上得以体现”,因此我不会修改差评4/10,但是我仍然能接受别人对游戏不同的理解,而自己当初测评的最后一句也着实有些狭隘。

Eu vou ser sincero agora, eu nem sei como começar a escrever uma avaliação para esse jogo, geralmente quando eu termino um jogo eu consigo formar uma opinião coesão sobre ele, não apenas sobre se eu gostei ou não, e se eu acho que você deveria o comprar, mas também sobre suas fraquezas e forças, porém a unica coisa que eu tenho certeza sobre esse jogo é que ele é brilhante, ele é o jogo mais criativo e inspirador que já joguei, e não falo isso como hipérbole, digo isso porque fiquei horas pensando sobre esse jogo, ao ponto de que tive reflexões filosoficas sobre minha propria vida e existencia.

A unica coisa que posso te garantir é que ao terminar esse jogo você será uma pessoa diferente, e que você terá uma opinião sobre ele completamente diferente da minha, porque existem milhares de jeitos diferentes de analisar ele. E que ele vale a pena ser jogado, acredite em mim, você não irá se arrepender.

Eu sinto que preciso escrever aqui o que achei sobre ele, e para mim, é absolutamente impossivel fazer isso sem dar "spoilers", que alias, aniquilam completamente a graça do jogo, que merece muito ser jogado.

Assim que terminei esse jogo fui direto para o site "TV Tropes", que caso você não o conheça, vá para lá imediatamente, após ler todas as páginas e sub-páginas sobre o jogo, fui ver avaliações sobre ele no YouTube feitas por dois de meus criticos favoritos: Errant Signal e The Mysterious Mr Enter. E após isso, refleti sobre o jogo por quase uma hora.

A conclusão que cheguei é de que o jogo foi feito para ser uma critica à pessoas que são analisam jogos excesivamente ao mesmo tempo em que torna quase imposivel não o analisar excesivamente. Pois como eu disse antes, cada jogador terá uma opinião unica sobre o que ele representa (e sobre se o que o narrador disse é verdade, mentira ou sequer existiu).

Porque a narração do jogo foi (ou não?) feita intencionalmente para que você crie uma opinião própria sobre: se você acha que o narrador estava sendo honesto com seu pedido de desculpas (e não simplismente usou essa história para alimentar mais ainda o seu suposto narcisismo), se ele sequer esteve errado em compartilhar os jogos de seu amigo, sobre o quanto (e se) ele realmente modificou os jogos ou não ("pare de adicionar postes de luz no meu jogo" e um pedido literal para que o protagonista para de modificar seus jogos ou é uma metáfora sobre as interpretações que o narrador fazia sobre o jogo?), sobre se os problemas do "amigo" (ele sequer era homem?) realmente não existiam ou se ele consiguiu convençer o protagonista de que eles não existiam, sobre o quão narcisita e o quão anti-social o narrador e seu amigo realmente eram, sobre quem teve mais culpa nessa historia (apenas um deles, qual?, os dois? Nenhum?). O narrador e seu amigo são pessoas diferentes ou na verdade a mesma pessoa, sendo o amigo parte da mente ou consciente dele?

E o mais importante de tudo: Essa história sequer é veridica ou ela foi uma invenção desde o começo? E nada do que o narrador falou sequer aconteceu, pois o jogo inteiro é um experimento filosofico sobre a natureza da arte e dos jogos?

Para mim, essa ultima opinião é aquela na qual eu acredito, e se ela realmente for verdadeira, o autor dela é um dos artista mais inteligentes e criativos que já vi, pois ele certamente conseguiu atingir seu objetivo: criar um jogo que possa ser interpretados de maneiras diferentes por cada pessoa e que tenha um significado pessoal e emocionante para cada um.

I got this because I was a big fan of Stanley parable & kinda forgot about it for a long while. Recently I had a quiet evening & decided I'd play it, thinking it'd be a bit of a laugh like the other game. Oh boy was I wrong.

For such a simple game it hits hard on a few different levels. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but please do take the time to play it (it takes less than 2 hours), and do so in one sitting. It really does deserve the recognition.

What I expected: Abstract and disjointed Stanley Parable

What I got: A rich tapestry expressing the understanding or wishful understanding of one's life, painted not with colors or adjectives or photos but in games and commentary with revelations therein. A journey that has an ending without a conclusion, that tries to explain itself then admits it may not be able to.

Sadness and confusion, both from and for the game, a lack of understanding that I feel I understand. I saw more of myself in it than I would have liked, and perhaps will admit, and not from any single source.

The Beginner's Guide will not help you in game-creation, or puzzle solving, or life, but it is a guide that should be used regardless. After all, there is no ending without a beginning.

There are very few pieces of media that I have played, watched, or seen that fundamentally reshaped how I view the world, but this here? Yeah, it shook me.

PS Of course this is all fictional, quit being so gullible

bu 'oyun' değil. buna pek çok şey denilebilir ama bunun bir 'oyun' olmadığı kesin. bu gerçek ile hayal arasında ve sanırım çok hüzünlü bir hikaye. parçası olabileceğiniz bir hikaye. tek eksiği kısa sürmesi. oynayacağınız bir şey yok. ama parçası olabileceğiniz bir şeyler bulabilirsiniz.

The Beginner's Guide, ist ein Spiel, bei dem man sich Gedanken machen muss. Man muss sich mit dem Spiel beschäftigen und in den Kopf der Personen hineindenken, was das Spiel einem sagen will.
Es war für mich eine sehr außergewöhnliche Erfahrung, die ich hier gemacht habe. Ein sehr seltsames Spiel, welches auf einen erst wirken muss.

Das Spiel dauert nur 1,5 Stunden. Dennoch hab ich jede Minute dieses Spiels genossen, weil es was ganz anderes war.

Interactive linear story about a pretentious artsy terrible person.

The gameplay is absolutely linear, you need to do as the narrator says or you won't progress. You need to walk your way through more than a dozen game prototypes. There is no game, no exploration. You set the pacing, there is some interaction that makes you drive the story forward, but ultimately that has little influence on the game.

Now, that's not necessarily bad per se - a movie or a book are linear, and they can be good or bad. However, as you'll soon realize, the narrator talking to you is a pretentious jerk, and while I see the word "pretentious" abused a lot, it fits here: he pretends to an understanding he doesn't possess and can't communicate. So the game gives you about 15 chapters to realize that and then adds a bit of self-doubt to it at the end that doesn't exactly make him more sympathetic. So, if you ever wanted to experience a non-amusing story about an ar-se-hole, here's your chance.

Now I'm a real artsy type and absolutely not pretentious ;-) . My way to approach artwork is to let the author explain what they thought when they made it, and I can explain how this piece affects me, where it fits in the context of other pieces I've seen and the general world I live in, and what it makes me think. When I am talking about a game or art, I am talking about myself. The narrator in the game never quite gets to that point.

So, the audience for that game, the people who could profit from it, are pretentious jerks who don't know they are. Since I presume none of my friends reading this review fit this description, I don't recommend this game.

[Update: There's also a second audience: people who try to decode the body of games, find connections to each other and to The Stanley Parable, and try to come up with theories about what it all could mean. These guys go wild on the Steam forums atm, and I do know some friends of mine who probably would as well.]

Protip: if you think that maybe you are a little bit of a pretentious jerk, or were just curious, and decided to buy and play the game, and consider writing a review about it, please refrain from identifying David Wreden with the narrator. The narrator is a fictional character and not the author. Thank you.

한 게임 개발자의 이야기를 전달하는 게임

스탠리 페러블의 개발자가 그의 게임 개발에 많은 영감을 주었던 다른 게임 개발자 "코다" 에 관해 이야기 (나레이션) 하면서 서로간 무슨 일이 있었고, 과연 이 게임의 나레이터와 코다 간 정말로 무슨 일이 있었는지를, 코다가 만든 게임을 플레이하며 담담히 들어주면 되는 게임이다. 게임 자체는 워킹 시뮬레이터에 가까운 장르의 게임이라 게임의 진행은 일자형 (단일 엔딩) 진행이기 때문에, 플레이타임이 1시간 반 정도로 매우 짧은 편이다. 또한, 워킹 시뮬레이터의 특징상 분위기가 역동적이지 않고 잔잔하기 때문에, 이러한 장르 및 분위기를 좋아하지 않는다면 99% 취향에 맞지 않을 것이라고 생각한다.

그래도 이 게임을 추천하는 이유는, 바로 게임이 들려주는 스토리가 마음에 들었기 때문이다. (스토리 자체는 스포일러를 하지 않겠지만) 실제 사람 두 명 사이에서 일어난 이야기를 듣는 게 아니라, 하나의 은유적인 이야기를 듣는다는 생각으로 이야기를 감상하니 이 게임의 개발자가 무엇을 전달하고 싶었는지 이해가 잘 되었으며, 게임 자체에서 보여주는 정보가 모든 정보를 공개해주고 풀이까지 해줘서 플레이어가 생각할 여지를 남겨놓지 않는 일차원적인 이야기가 아니라, 어느 정도는 게임 내 스토리를 풀어주지만 그것에 대한 판단과 플레어의 생각에 따라 같은 게임이라도 몇 가지의 입체적인 해석을 고안해 볼 수도 있었다는 점이 마음에 들었다. 몇몇 평가에서는 전작인 스탠리 패러블에 비해 게임 개발자의 이야기를 다루다 보니 일반적인 플레이어 입장에서는 스탠리 패러블보다 더 공감이 안 가고 재미없다는 느낌을 받을 수 있다고 평가를 남겼는데, 개인적으로는 이 게임에서 다루는 이야기를 게임 개발자만으로 한정하지 않고, 충분히 더 넓은 범위에 적용할 수 있는 스토리라고 생각하여 단순히 게임을 만드는 사람에게만 이 게임이 공감간다는 말에는 동의를 할 수 없다.


다만, 맨 위에서 말했듯이 플레이 타임이 긴 게임은 아니고 출시한 지 꽤 오래 된 게임이니 할인률이 높아서 정가에 사지는 말고 할인을 많이 할 때 해보는 걸 권장한다. 또한, 이야기가 중요한 게임 특성상 감정이 메마른 상태에서 하는 것 보다는, 새벽 감성에 젖어서 잔잔한 이야기 하나 읽어보고 싶을 때 하는 걸 추천한다.

Dear Davey and Everything Unlimited Ltd Staff,

I am writing this review in the hopes that you would find it in the sea of likewise steam reviews of your game (however unlikely that may be). I, like many others, saw your game come out and though "That is a neat idea, but it is a bit expensive for only an hour or two", and then I moved on. Then one day I saw a playthrough pop up on youtube and I watched the entire thing though. It was a journey of both the game designer in me and the person that I am. And at the end I was moved by your game, it changed who I was as a person.

And I did this all for free.

All because I told myself "the game is short" and "it was only $10". But then I started thinking, "does time equal value" and "Would it have been a better game if it was longer". Then, of course EC put out their video on short games (which I would recommend along with all of their videos). And then I bought your game. Now it is sitting in my library and I doubt I'll actually play it longer than I needed to make this review. I did it because I realised that just because a game is short or doesn't use conventional mechanics to deliver their narrative, doesn’t mean that I could just enjoy their game and not give them the money. So while I am writing this to you, and other game developers like you, I am also writing this to my fellow gamers, because I loved your game and its impact on my life. Not only did I want to do my part to help you, but I also wanted to make my stance on the importance of short games. I hope my contribution will help you make more games in the future, and I hope that more games in the future will have the same dedication that yours did.

Best of wishes,
The Data Doug

The game is short. But it's 100% worth the price. I don't want to say anything else as it will spoil the game, and i recommend playing it yourself instead of watching a playthrough.

I understand what the developer was going for, but I did not find it fun. It needs to be understood as a narrative experience, similar to the Stanley Parable but much more serious.

I knew what this was going in (ie, not a traditional game). I knew it was short. I knew it was basically a narative. I did not like it. I get its message, it just didn't particularly resonate with me.

This story makes you think.
It makes you think of games, of people, of attitude to life and challenges.
This emotionaly heavy game-like demonstration makes you think of the things you don't want to think, if you're brave enough to sumbit to this message.

I honestly don't know what to say about it. You can never know if you're ready to hear a story like this one.

Go to hell, Davey. If all of this is true, you are a bastard. If all of this is fiction, you are one talented ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
I bet it's something in between.

Deviating from my usual review format, this is more of a personal, thought provoking journey than a game. If you buy it expecting The Stanley Parable 2, you'll be disappointed. If you are after a 'game' you'll be mostly disappointed. If you want a great narrative and experience then you should give it a look.

Hayatımda oynadığım en garip oyunlardan biri. Oynanış süresi kısa olsa da bana soracak olursanız kesinlikle deneyimlemeniz gereken oyunlardan bir tanesi. The Stanley Parable oyununu oynadınız mı? Oynamadıysanız, hemen onu da oynayın. Çünkü bu iki oyun aynı yapımcılardan ve tür olarak kafada soru işareti bıracak türden.

Coda isimli bir oyun geliştiricisi düşünün. Davey, bu kişiyle bir oyun etkinliğinde tanışıyor. Ve tüm o oyunlar arasından Coda'nın yaptığı oyunlar ilgisini çekiyor. Çünkü bunun yaptığı oyunlar herkesten farklı! Hemde oldukça farklı. Bu ikisi burada tanışıyor, ve arkadaş oluyorlar.

(Yıl 2008-2011) Daha sonra Davey, elektronik posta (e-mail) yoluyla, Coda'dan oyunlarını göndermesini istiyor. Bu 2011 yılına kadar devam ediyor. Davey, bizlere bu oyunları bir araya toplamış ve The Beginner's Guide isimli bir oyun ortaya çıkartmış.

Coda'dan kısaca bahsedersem; benim anladığım kadarıyla içine kapanık, yalnız bir kişi. Ama kendi kendine kısa oyunlar geliştiriyor. Ha, siz kısa dediğime bakmayın. Eğer oyunu "cidden oynarsak" yani Davey bize yardım etmeden oynarsak, veya kendisi bizim için bu oyunun ne anlama geldiğini yorumlamasa oyun çok çok daha uzun sürerdi. Kısa bir örnek verirsem; (ki zaten görecekiniz) bir yol düşünün, karşınızda merdiven var ve oraya ulaşmanız gerekiyor. Yapmanız gereken çok basit, dümdüz yürümek! Ama o kadar kolay değil. Önünüzde görünmez bir labirent var ve duvara çarparsanız ölüyorsunuz. Davey, işte burada bizlere yardım ediyor ve labirentin üstüne köprü koyuyor. Böylece burayı geçebiliyoruz. Aksi takdirde burayı geçmek inanılmaz zamanımızı alır, hatta kimsenin o kadar zamanını ayırıp uğraşacağını sanmıyorum. Çünkü defalarca deneyip ölmek demek. Ama etrafınıza baktığınızda bir sürü şey görüyorsunuz, gidilecek devasa yerler, yukarıya çıkar merdivenler var. Her neyse, burası oyundan bir sahneydi ama zevkinizi kaçırmadım merak etmeyin, sadece oyununun yapısı hakkında ufak bir bilgilendirme vermek istedim.

Coda bu yaptığı oyunları asla internette veya başka insanlarla paylaşmazdı, yayınlamazdı veya satmazdı. Sadece arkadaş olduğu Davey'e posta yoluyla indirme bağlantısını yollardı. Oyunun kullandığı oyun motoru Source bu arada. Nedenini oyun içinde Davey bize söylüyor. Yani kendisi yorumluyor. Bakın, oyun hakkında anlatacak çok şey olduğu kadar anlatacak kadar bir şey yok. Evet biraz saçma bir durum ama size şöyle söyleyeyim; bu oyun bazı kişilere bir şey anlam ifade edebilirken, bazı insanlar burada anlatılmak istenileni anlamayabilir. Yani kafanızda soru işareti kalabilir, ve bu çok normal.

Oyunda beni en çok etkileyen şey Coda'nın düşünme yapısı. Gerçekten bu kişiyle tanışmak isterdim nasıl biri olduğunu. Ayrıca üzücü bir haber vereyim mi? Verdim gitti. Coda 2011 yılında oyun yapmayı bırakmış. En azından Davey böyle düşünüyor. Oyunlarını oynayarak Coda'nın kişiliğini çok iyi anlayabilirsiniz. Bana soracak olursanız tüm oyunları bir anlam taşıyor. Ayrıca oyunun müzikleri çok değişik! Kötü değil, ama değişik hissettim. Oyunu gece vakti oynadım ve ne yalan söyleyeyim oynadığım korku oyunları kadar ürperdim. Oyunun yapısı insanı ürpertiyor, müziği de öyle. Oyun içinde tek dostumuz Davey oluyor, o da bizimle sesiyle konuşuyor ve kocaman oyunun içinde tek arkadaşımız, bize yol gösterenimiz oluyor.

Belki burada ne anlatmak istediğimi anlamamış olabilirsiniz, sorun değil. Çünkü bu çok "garip".

...c'est corrigé les coupains :) :
v. 0 -
ne pas acheter pas les yeux fermés !
Personne ne pourra jamais m'empêcher de m'en tenir à mon avis... sauf moi ! (@Maverick :)
Contrairement à ce que je soutenais au départ, 'the Beginner's Guide' et bel et bien un jeu vidéo et non pas, un présentation en "slide". Le jeu dure environ 90 min, je me suis arrêté d'exaspération après 60min seulement. Mal m'en a pris !
Faut-il en comprendre quelque chose ? Et bien, en tout cas, sachez que la dernière demi-heure, n'est ni un "twist-ending", ni un soudaine mise en abîme renversant la perspective, rien de fulgurant mais elle rachète un petit peu la première heure "présentation", en douceur et avec des arguments appréciables.
Cela étant dit, si c'est suffisant pour faire revennir l'éval dans le bleu d'après mes critères (super larges) cela ne change que très peu la tâche rouge qui enlaidit ce titre dans la liste de mes expériences.

Davey Wreden, tu t'es quand même bien foutu de moi ! Un titre comme celui-ci c'est un pari messieurs-dames ! Un pari contre la vacuité et les êxtrèmes de ce qui peut être inclus dans la gamme narrative du jeu vidéo, un pari auquel a échoué l'auteur.
Je m'explique : the Beginners Guide n'est qu'un texte qui est lu pour vous par D.W., par chance, comme il se trouve que D.W. est dans le jeu vidéo, nous avons la possibilité d'expérimenter ce dont il parle alors qui il en en train d'en parler ! Cela se résume par des micro-environnements en 3D (Source engine) qui se succèdent chronologiquement selon leur date de réalisation - de 2008 à 2011.

Ce qui ne change pas (par rapport à mon avi original), c'est que quelques soient ses niveaux, il s'agit là d'assemblages inertes, sans valeur une fois privé de commentaire. S'il y a des détails ou des bonnes idées, on reste toujours à bonne distance d'une quelconque trace de génie ou de valeur culturelle à part entière.
Cela ne s'améliore pas lorsque l'on comprend que l'auteur des niveaux est 'anonyme' et que le narrateur n'a quant à lui jamais pondu qu'un seul titre - même si c'est Stanley Parable. N'avoir fait qu'un titre ça reste maigre pour oser prétender sonder l'âme d'un homme au travers de ses créations et encore plus maigre pour prétendre parler en tant qu'autorité légitime de ce qui peut ou ne peut pas se faire par le jeu. Comment se passe les 60 premières minutes d'un titre qui en fait 90 : c'est essentiellement des explications sur pourquoi l'auteur (anonyme donc) a fait 'ça' (un micro niveau) dans ce jeu ( un jeu jamais publié, jamais fini) et comment, moi, le narrateur je percevois ce 'ça'.
On pouvait diffcilement mieux cibler un truc dont personne n'a rien à carrer et qui ne servira à personne en tant que viatif intellectuel.

Je résume donc 66% sans jeu et sans narration, un speech de présentation qui s'attarde sur des concepts vus et revus dans les titres narratifs existant. Enfin 33% de narration, sur une expérience (fictive ?) qu'aurait vécu le bon Davey.
Bref un succès immérité autant dans la press qu'auprès des joueurs, Davey... sincèrement, après ça, mer_de !

L'évaluation inital est désormais ma plus belle erreur (en 180 critiques) et demeure visible > http://www.senscritique.com/jeuvideo/The_Beginner_s_Guide/critique/69637054

This Is Not A Game. It is Something More. I feel as if i should not of seen it, but i'm glad i did at the same time.

SPOILERS DOWN BELOW






This Game Manipulated my emotions and made me so invested and emotionally attached to the story that at the end i forgot it was a fictional story, and did research for about 15 minutes to see if "coda" found this game. In my opinion this is the best game ever made, with the Stanley Parable being a close second. Good Work Davey. Keep It Up.

I don't know what to say, really

As the game goes I thought I am experiencing the life of a game developer that killed himself. I really thought that will be the end. The part that the wall is breaking everytime he say something that is not true for himself and the part that shooting all his own creation is just so depressing. And yet in the end...... are we the problem?

Will you please stop adding lampost in my game?

A captivating experience, though too short for the price. More philosophy than gameplay here, if you pay for it you really need to know what you're doing, especially in the age of Youtube, where seeing a full playthrough of this game is almost the same as playing it.

这个不是游戏,这个是给游戏开发者的新手指南。
不知道是巧合还是设计师都总会有一样的想法,Coda(?)的想法和我最近的计划报告总是意外的不谋而合。
昨晚玩的,感受深刻,但是今天我却语塞了。
我感到的更多的是恐惧。
同为游戏设计师的恐惧。

玩家请不要玩了来骂什么lame游戏,
这是设计师才能理解的。

I think about this game a lot. I know it's kind of a meme to say "stop reading reviews and play the game" but seriously, this might be the most profound pieces of art I've ever consumed. Please play it, please go in blind, and please don't refund it. I think we need more games like this.

The Beginner's Guide, The Stanley Parable'ın yaratıcısı olan efsane isim Davey Wreden anlatımı ile 1.5-2 saatlik bir hikayeye giriş yapıyoruz. Hikayede bahsedilen kişinin yaptığı yarım bırakılmış oyunlarda bakınıp ve geçirdiği bu yapım sürecinde ne zorluklar geçirdiğini öğreniyoruz. Olayları kavramaya çalışırken anlatıcıyla beraber gidilmesi gereken yerlere uğrayıp neyi nasıl yaptığını ve derdinin tam olarak ne olduğunu anlamaya çalışıyoruz.

Hikayede bahsedilen kişinin çalışmalarının günümüzde bir çok yapıma yakın olması ve her geçiş yaptığımız oyunun kendine has hoş atmosferi olması beni adeta içine çekti. Atmosfer, müzikler ve mekanların muhteşemliği bir kenara Davey Wreden'ın anlatım şekli o kadar güzeldi ki bazen kendimi o müthiş anlatımına bırakıp sadece dinlediğim anlar bile oldu.

Kısa özetle The Beginner's Guide diğer incelemelerde bahsedildiği gibi yapım adeta film tadında ve oldukça etkileyiciydi. Fiyatı oldukça uygun olan bu güzel yapım hikayesi derin olan bir oyun arayışındaysanız şans vermenizi şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.

Когда купите эту прекрасную игру - выделите себе 2 часа на ее прохождение. Не прерывайте это. Прочувствуйте переход от веселого рассказа о друге, который создавал игры к чему-то большему, что сможет задеть вас за душу. Невероятноя история, рассказанная изящным образом.

И когда ты поймешь, что я имею в виду... просто промолчи. (с)

I actually recommend this game now. I have fond memories of it and the review below is from 2017 - I think I was just being stuck up and snobby about the review. My bad!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(This is a long one, TL:DR at the bottom)

I really wanted to enjoy this, in the sense that I wanted to get some sort of emotional experience with it. I often find myself yearning for deep stories and intersting ideas when it comes to games, and I really thought this was going to fulfill that, especially after reading the plethora of recommendations and watching the interesting trailer.

I went into this game knowing that it was only going to be about an hour and a half long, knowing that it was going to be nothing more than a visual novel-esque experience/game.

What I was really looking for in this game was something to make up for that, with all of the praise it's getting in the reviews, and all of the recommendations describing it as a deep experience, that is what I was expecting.

What I got was an interesting story, but it felt very shallow, forced, and like it was trying to be something but didn't really know how to do it. Yes, I understand what it is trying to do, and I really wanted to like it, I overlooked a lot of the cheap things like the corny voice acting (that I don't believe was trying to be corny, it was trying to be dramatic. If it was trying to be corny then it was uncalled for anyways) and the fact that some things were immersion-breaking. Yes, I know it's fiction, but the point of getting into a story is to suspend disbelief, and a during most of this game, I struggled to do that, it just didn't feel meaningful.

Edit (Side note about appealing to game developers):
I've also heard that this was a game that would be appreciated by game developers even more so. As someone who has created several projects using various engines and / or programming languages from GML to Unity to raw Java to the Source Engine itself (My Dota 2 mod can be found on my page, although I would hardly even count that as evidence of my work, as it involved little to no programming and was mostly like a map creation than anything else, which is what I would classify these "games"), which is what is featured in this game. HOWEVER, I think this only DECREASED my enjoyment of the game! The game has you go through a collection of "games", however I can hardly classify these as games at all! Rather, they seem to just be maps / mods made with the source engine! And the time frames that were given for each game? Hardly seemed realistic at all! Yeah, it was made by one guy, but like 6 months for map with a house where you click on things to clean them up? I could whip something like that up with no engine in less time, let alone using the Source engine itself! The only explanation I can think of is that he had a lot going on, like a full time job and what not, and he wasn't a full time developer. Not to rant or act as if I know a lot about game development, I still have a long way to go to even consider it a side hobby, but with this knowledge, I feel as though my suspension of disbelief was only harder to achieve!

In the end, I was expecting something impactful to make up for the lack of other content. I see people praising it for being impactful, invoking emotions like sadness and awe at what was done. But for me, I was left with disappointment, as I found myself feeling nothing more than as if I was trying to make myself feel something about the game because I just dropped money on the thing and wanted to get SOMETHING out of it. It wasn't a meaningful story for me, and it almost seemed like a waste of money.

This is not a bad project, it was interesting in a sense, but even after trying to force myself to experience some sort of response and looking for at least some kind of interesting interpretation, I am left with little to nothing. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who would feel the same. And for that reason, I can't recommend this for the price it is charging.

I am still looking for a reason that this game is getting praise, however. If you feel that I am wrong, or disagree with what I said, please feel free to leave a comment on here and share that with me. I am interested in why this game is getting such high praise from people.

TL:DR - This game was disappointing for me, it did not invoke emotional response and could not hold my suspention of disbelief. I can see what it was trying to do, but the drama felt shallow and forced. Thus, not worth the money.

How ironic that a game named the "Beginner's Guide" is not meant for beginning gamers.

Basically, don't play this if you don't have some sort of interest in game development itself.

I'm going to assume that most people came here through "The Stanley Parable." If you have, then you have a pretty good idea of what this might become. You are also probably aware of how futile it might be to explain a game by the same creator.

This is not a game. It is basically a kind of autobiography of the game developer, Davey Wreden. It deals with his experience with an unconventional game developer named Coda. As one might expect, this is...... different from other interactive gameplay styles. The player is sent through various half-finished games to try and understand the inner workings of this enigmatic.

If the previous paragraph wasn't clear enough, I'll reiterate. This is not a game. It is an experience. The player is sent through a journey that cannot be found anywhere else. This journey, however, is not for everyone. I still don't really understand half the journey myself

And yet...... there was something about this game that I enjoyed. I can't quite place my finger on it. Was it the insight into various unique games? Was it the mystery of who "Coda" is? Perhaps it was just the novelty of it all.

If you are thinking of buying this game, then keep this in mind: Let go of any prejudices you might have, and let the game lead you along. If in the end, you are left with confusion unto what you just played, know that you are not alone.

An intriguing premise constantly at odds with Davey Wrenden's subpar writing ability.

A character study of a hobbyist game developer told through the exploration of his games is a really compelling idea. But this premise is completely hamstrung by its underwhelming execution. Taken as a work of fiction, the story is clumsy and unsure of how to develop itself past the first 30 minutes. Taken as a work of non-fiction, the narrator comes off as an unsympathetic, self-centered/self-pitying, uninteresting jerk. The emotional aspects of the work lack subtlety and border on melodrama. The narrator's lack of voice acting talent makes the weak script come off as overly whiney.

The visuals and "set design" are fantastic, though. Exploring some of the areas without narration was a delight. The messy house level was definitely the high point of the game.

But excellent visual design can't save this overwhelmingly flawed game. Not recommended.

Сильная игра, заставляющая задуматься о том, как мы ведем себя с друзьями, и не только. Когда мы узнаем всю суть игры - становится не по себе.
TBG - это не просто игра. TBG - это олицетворение мыслей и души автора, аттракцион, благодаря которому ты можешь многое осмыслить.
1,5 часа для игры мало, но то, что ты испытываешь - того стоит.

The Beginner's Guide - игра уникальная. Я возвращался к ней несколько раз и всегда открывал что-то новое.

Вообще удивительно как игра с геймплеем на два часа заставляет на тебя посмотреть на вещи под другим углом. Наверное оно и понятно, ведь каждый человек если и не сам занимается творчеством, то знаком с такими людьми напрямую. Отсюда и возникают вопросы о том, как этот человек себя чувствует, когда создаёт то или иное произведение, начинаешь задумываться о том, как наше мнение о творении может полностью разниться с изначальной задумкой автора.

Благодаря TBG я узнал, что такое нарратив, прочитал много статей на эту тему, посмотрел видео, которые помогли бы объяснить сам смысл происходящего.

Ни одна игра не вызывала у меня такого сильного желания лучше понять авторскую задумку, что он хотел сказать своей игрой, заставить погрузиться в тему, посмотреть интервью о разработке, пройти игру несколько раз, о чём-то задуматься.

Я люблю эту игру.

Занятная история о бессмысленности бытия, творческом поиске и самопознании. Но это не точно. Как и в любом абстрактном искусстве, интерпретация происходящего крайне неоднозначна и зависит от зрителя, его ожиданий, настроения и окружающей обстановки. Кто-то увидит глубинный смысл, а кто-то бессвязную СПГС чушь. И оба будут правы =) Геймплея как такового нет, только ходьба и локации разной степени упоротости.
После прохождения остался приятный осадочек экзистенциального ужаса, как бы странно это не звучало. Мне понравилось, но рекомендовать я б её стал с большой осторожностью.

P.S.
После The Beginner's Guide захотелось перепройти The Stanley Parable, в своё время вообще её не понял из-за неправильных ожиданий.

"Would you stop changing my games?

Całkiem ciekawe doświadczenie, na półtorej godziny. Skłaniające do refleksji, momentami niepokojące. Przedstawiające nieograniczoną wyobraźnię twórcy i zmagania wewnętrzne które ukazuje w swoich dziełach. Jak najbardziej Polecam.

One of those rare games that raises some uncomfortable truths about the nature of creation, truths that may also apply to yourself. The game then just makes you sit with them for a while as it pokes them a bit and asks interesting questions. Massively self-indulgent it may be, but I found the experience to be valuable, it moved me.

Die Steambeschreibung sagt alles über dieses Spiel aus:
- Es ist kurz
- Es hat kein "Ziel"
- Es will einfach nur eine Geschichte erzählen.
Dabei zeigt es meiner Meinung nach auf eine fantastische Weise was Videospiele seien können/sind, nämlich Kunst.
Bestimmt nicht etwas für jeden, aber wer mal eine besondere, andere und sehr intensive Erfahrung machen möchte sollte hier definitiv zugreifen!

If you're tired of the pretentious reviews that say nothing at all about the game and expect you to just take their word that it's good because they want to get a review with a lot of votes without actually having to write anything, then read on. I will actually tell you the basic premise of the game. If you're a douchebag who thinks absolutely nothing about the game at all should be 'spoiled,' even the vaguest sense of what it's about, then why are you reading reviews at all? Are you just looking for an excuse to complain? Stop being a jerk.

Now that that's out of the way, I will describe what you will read in the following sections so that you can read as much or as little as you like, according to your tastes. The sections themselves will be covered by spoiler tags and prefaced by non-spoilered text indicating what they are. At no time will I discuss specific details of events in the game that I would consider actual spoilers.
In the next section, I will describe the basic premise of the game and mention a vague surface theme. By the premise, I mean just a very basic description of the action of the game. It's something that you will learn in the very beginning when you first start playing and is in no way an Earth-shattering revelation. The theme I will discuss is very general and directly related to the premise. It's something you could likely work out on your own with no explanation from me at all.
In the section following that, I will discuss some of the deeper themes presented in the game. While I will still avoid anything about specific events in the game, this part might reveal a little more than some people would want to know, and I would probably recommend that most people skip it. I include it primarily in the interest of those who still aren't sure if this game is for them even after reading the previous section. How much you get out of the experience depends a lot on whether these themes are something you can relate to. While I still enjoyed the game, it was not what I was expecting going in and I feel like I didn't get as much out of it as others and that my inability to relate was the main reason for this.

Here is the section detailing the basic premise

The game features a narrator who guides you through several short games made by a friend of his in Valve's Source engine. The relationship between the artist and his work is explored as you play through each one and the narrator explains the games and gives his interpretations.

Now that I've actually typed it out and read it, I feel almost silly putting it in spoiler tags. You could just about get that from the trailer on the store page. However, I'll leave it as it is. Now we come to the part that actually sort of spoils some things. I would suggest you stop here if you haven't played the game yet. Proceed at your own peril.

This section discusses major themes and may detract from your experience if you have not played the game yet

Without mentioning anything that occurs in-game specifically, this story focuses on dependent relationships in which one person becomes reliant upon another for their self-worth and self-image. It raises questions about the role of artists in relation to those who take an interest in their work, as well as their rights as they pertain to the the ultimate disposition of their work. It explores the reasons behind the artist's creations. It wrestles with questions that intrigue me, however, I felt like I was on the outside looking in, so to speak, because I couldn't relate to them from the angle that was presented. You are meant to see things from the perspective of the dependent party in the relationship rather than the one to whom they become attached, but this is not the role I have historically found myself in. You will get more out of the story if this applies to you to some degree.

Ultimately, I think that this is something you will enjoy if you are at all interested in these kinds of storytelling 'games,' but your mileage may vary depending on your psychological makeup and personal history. I give it my approval, with some caveats.

Was soll man sagen zu dem Spiel?

Ich sitze gerade in meinem Zimmer nach ein und halb Stunden hoch genuss von Spiel. Ich versuch dieses Spiel zu verstehen ,aber schaffe es nicht, da es ist so Perfekt erscheint. Ich möchte mehr wissen. Ich will alles wissen ,aber werde es wahrscheinlich nie. Ich habe noch nie ein Spiel gespielt was solch eine tiefgründige Geschichte erzählt und dieses auch so dem Spieler überbringt. Vielleicht sollte man das Spiel nicht verstehen ,aber man möchte dies. Das spiel bringt einem zum nachdenken. Man sollte sich nichts zum Spiel anlesen sondern einfach kaufen und spielen um das Komplette Erlebniss zu haben. Ich würd es zum Teil mit 9.03 m vergleichen, was genau so ist, da es zwar kurz ist, aber sehr Aussage kräfigt ist und wenn man sich vorher über das Spiel viel zu sehr informiert zerstört man dieses (9.03m auch unbedingt kaufen und spielen).

Einfach kaufen, spielen, auf sich wirken lassen und genießen.

I watched Jackspeticeye's playthrough when it came out, and I was pretty young (I was 11) so I couldn't fully grasp what this game was. I happened to come across it again last month and finally played it for myself one night where I just couldn't seem to fall asleep and now, as an 18 year old who hopes to one day be a game dev myself, this couldn't have came to me at a better time. This game made me realize even more how much something as short as an hour and a half experience could change someones life. This game is more than just a game, it's a lesson, it's an experience, it's art, and I hope to find more games like The Beginners Guide but I don't think anything can come close to it.

The Beginner's Guide is an enjoyable 1-2hr walking simulator. Some of the areas feel long but overall it's enjoyable. I didn't find myself wanting to play a second time but enjoyed reading fictional lore about the game afterwards.

I'm not sure why the developer didn't take full advantage of the Steam platform this time. His previous game "The Stanley Parable" used more Steamworks features such as cloud save, full controller support, and achievements. Maybe it's easier to release the same product on multiple game stores vs tailoring it to each store.

В общем-то, игры, как особая форма искусства, позволяют делать такие вещи - и симулятор хождения, и рассказ, и кино, и инсталляция... Всё в одном. Чем-то очень напоминает предыдущую игру автора - Stanley Parable.
Да, в игре есть много интересных идей, переплетённых с повествованием, эмоциональная линия то ли девушки, то ли парня, то ли неведомой зверушки заставляет призадуматься, но очень хорошо, что автор игры не ведёт игрока к какой-либо морали, как это было в Gone Home, что сильно и возмущало в той игре. Здесь же, несмотря определённый прогиб через рассказчика, ты волен сам решать, как тебе воспринимать эту историю лично.
И с этой точки зрения проект интересен - он заставляет задуматься, как о выразительных средствах геймдизайна, так и о том, как бы ты лично отреагировал на похожую ситуацию, и о качестве самой личности по имени "Кода".
В общем, если хотите попробовать что-то арт-хаусное от игр, добро пожаловать.

爱与失去、真诚与忽悠、倾注与迷失
起先是想写“有趣” ,中间是“令人惊讶”
最后是面对自己,不间断地暂停沉思。

它演绎了自己的故事,演绎了“真实”——或是真实的故事,也是属于创作者群体的“故事”
从好奇到奇妙的完成了与自己对话
都是低语机器:低语、机器、三个点、女人、两个男人,你和”你‘

男人在述说,Coda在述说,他仿佛在替别人诉说
他与自我对话,但当你也陷入其中,并通过交互完善这段低语时,你也多少完成了和自己的对话,这时你便是Coda.....

很精彩的作品,很真诚的几个段落和几段对话
令人深刻的:[盲] [井] [雾] [归] [塔]

结尾只是让演绎得到了收尾和前后的呼应吧。某些深入的触碰,确实最后会将人引向疏离的[塔] 吗?其实也相当于抛出了一个提问,同时也稍微演绎了一个答案 ——这取决于你对受限于自己视角的程度?

其实他也可能只是喜欢去做****.......


至此也大概明白了为何早先有朋友把这款游戏的图设为了自己社交软件主页的封面

在一个偶然打算干另一件事但受限于等待的夜晚,顺手触发这个早就期待已久但一直没真正决定机会的游戏。很有趣。也期待以后多一些这样的随意,多留下一些这样的回忆体验

我的游戏佳Top20作体验目标清单中,又可以解锁去掉一项条目啦!

One of the best, not only videogames, but pieces of art in history.
Some say it's pretentious but it really isn't, even with it's ambiguity it explores themes like the use of art, perception, reality, the human condition, psychology, inspiration and the purpose of life itself.
In only one hour and a half, it becomes one of the most complete and complex videogames out there in storytelling, but the mechanics don't get behind, is a really inmersive game that tries and achieves at every moment to connect with the player personally, even if the game really has only one path and the options would seems useless (they aren't).
The game has two characters which face we don't get to see, but still they are excellently explored and complex. It gets a 10/10 for me, simply a beautiful game with some powerful messages.

Si ce qui est raconté dans l'histoire est vraie, alors vous aurez encore plus la tête retourné dans tous les sens à la fin de ce petit jeu.

Certains ici et sur des webzine n'ont pas compris qu'il ne fallait surtout pas "noter" ce jeu comme une brique de lait qu'on viderais de son contenu juste pour voir la qualité. Et encore moins la comparer à d'autres jeux. Ca ne se note pas. Ca se vie, tout simplement.

Faites-le jeu ou ne le faites pas, c'est votre choix. Mais tester ce jeux pour lui donner une note est un non-sens.

The game that's not really a game was a relaxing interesting walking sim of sorts but with the narrator with you the whole kind of like Stanley Parable but different enough to be it's own unique creative game. Recommended to enjoy yourself for a couple of hours. This author is either just really creative, on drugs or both lol pretty trippy little romp through his mind. Just play it already =)

(记得以前好像写过一篇评测,貌似没法出去emmmmmmm)
二周目之后,仍然很难理解这款游戏想要表达的深层含义,也许游戏制作者更能够理解它吧。
严格意义上来讲不是一款游戏,更像是做着自己内心的表述,只不过为了更生动形象的表达而加了可以互动的内容而已
也许再过几年再回头品味一下会有不同的感受吧

Just finished this "Game".

If you're looking to spend your money on a game that will give you endless hours of entertainment, this is not it. As a matter of fact, it is quite the opposite. This "game" can be finished within around two hours, and is very story driven, to the point where I would go as far as to say it has literally no replayability.

However, I still think that this is an amazing game.

The game itself is not the important bit. This game is an experience, and one I think everyone should experience. It is hard to explain without spoilers, but it gives a very interesting look into the human psyche. I enjoyed this experience immensely, and I think you should too.

The beginners guide is an amazing experience and i cannot reccomend it enough.

You play through multiple games created by someone called "Coda" and narrated by someone called "Davey" throughout the game Davey will tell you his own interpritations how he experienced the game, etc.

I highly reccomend you go into this game blind. Or atleast as blind as you can be, there is far too many twists and turns in this story to not go in blind.

The game can be completed in little over an hour, shorter if you dont take your time.

Just be aware - there is a part towards the end of the game that contains flashing lights. This could be an issue for some players.

Una obra de arte.

Es un juego para un público muy concreto, en el que lo principal es la narrativa, y continuas por la simple curiosidad de ver cómo avanza "la historia"

A ratos experimental, pero brillante, ♥♥♥ conceptos que se salen de la jugabilidad tradicional

Si has jugado a Stanley Parable, este seguro que también te gustará.

¿Un juego? Quizá es una obra audiovisual bastante distinta a lo que estamos acostumbrados.
Una historia contada de otra manera. Un viaje, que te invita (supuestamente) a introducirte en la mente de su creador.

Eso sí, es un juego que necesita una reflexión posterior.

Una buena reflexión acerca de las relación desarrolladores-jugadores, y lo que son las cosas vs. lo que entiende la gente que son, y sus múltiples interpretaciones y profundidades.
¿Quién sabe? Esto es sólo otra posible interpretación...


Lo único que tendría en contra serían los pequeños lags a la hora de cargar los textos/audios, que de alguna forma te hacen saber instantes antes cuándo se van a reproducir... :S

Si sólo quieres un juego ♥♥♥ el que pasar el rato, y evadirte de tu rutina diaria matando unos cuantos "bichos"... este no es tu juego.

Gameplay:

Pros:
-Made me think about story once game was over
-Interesting experience
-Pretty sad/depressing story (Unlike Stanley Parable) but still good

♥♥♥♥:
-Pretty short (Max playtime you can get out of it is around 2 hours 30 minutes. For regular person ~1 hour 30 minutes)

Story:
Story is about how Davey/Developer (Coda in game) feels after releasing Stanley Parable.

A journey into two different minds. Calling it "meta-walking simulator" doesn't do it justice. The game manages to feel for the narrator, to join him in his presentation and exploration of the different game snippits. It provides a twist ending that will emotionally and morally challenge your brain. Top notch narrative experience, with a lot of strange design ideas. Worth every minute, and TOP20 of all time material.

The design of each "game" and the narrator's flawed grasp of their meaning are consistently interesting. However, I felt like the dramatic arc was predictable, and I didn't really feel like it had a strong emotional impact.

That being said, I am not a creator or a critic, so I feel like some of the experiences this refers to are simply out of my reach, and might be the key to having a more profound experience with this game.

I think I'd only recommend this game to a specific subset of people.

O jogo é bom? SIM, porém NÃO VALE A PENA PAGAR por ele, a não ser que você esteja certo que está fazendo uma pequena doação para o criador (como eu fiz :p).
RESUMO:
O jogo é praticamente narrativo com duração aproximada de 90min. Você é guiado por Davey através de vários pequenos jogos criados por Coda, um amigo dele. Juntamente com Davey, você irá desvendar sobre a personalidade de Coda, o relacionamento entre eles e julgá-los. O mais interessante do jogo é que ele te faz pensar e refletir.

SPOILERS, minha reflexão sobre o jogo:

Davey conhece Coda e gosta dos jogos dele, porém Coda não publica ou mostra os jogos para ninguém. No começo os jogos são puros, então Davey “rouba” os jogos de Coda e os modifica, pois apesar de serem interessantes, não são “jogáveis” (você pode ver como Davey sempre está mandando o jogador passar de uma parte ou outra "usando cheat", mostrando a solução ou falando como o jogo parece ser incompleto ou “bugado”). Porém ele gosta dos jogos de Coda e tenta entender Coda através desses jogos ao mesmo tempo que ele procura a valorização dele mesmo, ser reconhecido por outras pessoas.
Ele acha que Coda está depressivo, solitário, sem ideais... comenta esse fato para seus amigos próximos e para tentar deixar Coda feliz, ele modifica os jogos de Coda e mostra para as outras pessoas. E as pessoas gostam dos jogos modificados e ele quer dar esse “feedback” positivo para Coda, para fazer Coda feliz, mas o que ele quer na verdade é ser reconhecido por ter feito isso, por ter feito algo bom, o principal objetivo de Davey não é ajudar Coda, é alimentar essa necessidade dele de sempre querer mais e mais reconhecimento.
Acredito que este jogo é uma forma do discurso que Davey Wreden (criador do jogo) fez para uma universidade link aqui (http://livestream.com/accounts/6845410/gamesnow/videos/83818176), só depois de assistir isso que pude entender melhor o jogo.
Então, Coda existe? Na minha opinião, não existe... Coda é um símbolo musical que representa o final da música, mas para chegar lá, deve-se repetir parte da música... acredito que isso é mostrado no terceiro jogo, onde apenas se pode jogar andando para trás e igual como ele fala no discurso, que você precisa voltar e parar para ver as coisas com mais clareza.
É um pouco complexo... ao mesmo tempo que Coda representa o Davey (criador) em seu momento de depressão, também é o oposto do Davey narrador, pois Coda não procura o reconhecimento, o objetivo da criação de jogos é totalmente oposto, ele busca refletir com coisas que só tem significado para ele mesmo, diferentemente do Davey narrador que representa o Davey (criador) durante e um pouco depois da criação do Stanley Parable onde apenas queria ser reconhecido e endeusado, pula a fase Davey depressivo e chega no Davey do presente onde ele está se desculpando pelo seu comportamento.
O jogo acima de tudo é um pedido de desculpas feito por Davey Wreden para Robin, seu grande amigo.

I enjoyed this game for its arty existentialist approach. I found that there was a lot of psychological challenge in the game as well as its puzzles. I feel they were more puzzles of the mind and psyche rather than puzzles like ie: jigsaw puzzles, Sudoku and such. The game challenges aspects of what should be and shouldn't be , which is usual and what is unusual, which can be perhaps a cultural programming within us of what is ...and what should be... or what can be ...or could be.
In a few of the puzzles I found that I thought that the controls were not working but it was something else. I
guess for you to expect the unexpected in this game, but it is a pleasant journey most of the time. There was one flashing graphic so I feel it important to tell you this.
Its most often Minimalistic environments are quite lovely, and soothing. I enjoyed the game very much, and I feel it will suit thinkers and those that do not mind intellectual challenges. Some of the puzzles do seem left of centre in its outcome of possible outcomes, but more importantly, I feel that the game becomes quite personalised for each gamer. I would not think that the person who plays will have the same thought process outcomes after playing. This I feel is because of the choices we each individually make in the game and what the objects/ images and actions mean to you as well. It challenges your own Id and puts you into positions of challenging those ideas.
A lot of work has gone into this game despite what the game images show. The aspect of the psychological layer has been carefully thought through and added to the game.
Trying to keep track of my own answers throughout the game I got a lot out of it. Taking it quite literally at times is needed but to try and work out where the developer artist wants to achieve within the game I found to be interesting as well. Thankyou.

The Beginners Guide is a game about why a creator stopped all of his work, despite having a unique way to tell a unique story. Everything by Coda felt important. I personally connected with his story and I could relate to him. Even though his games were never meant to be played and even though his work was never meant to be seen, his secrets never told, I felt that he is important and that his work is important I hope that he is alive and well and finding his machine agian.

This game feels...I don't know. I feel like I shouldn't have seen what I saw.

It's a cry for help - though not the way you think it is. It's less a game and more of an experience, a look into someone's soul. The Beginner's Guide asks us to figure out what makes that person them...and then it asks whether or not we ever had the right to do so in the first place.

this is not stanley parable.
i don't know if this game was made solely for the developer and just so happened to release it, or if it was made for a certain audience.

but what I do know is: if you are an artist or someone who does creative work (painting, writing, gamedev, music etc), you need to buy this game.

when you look back on something you've made, especially during frustrating times when you just can't seem to make anything work at all, doesn't it sometimes almost feel like someone else somehow did your previous work?

*Spoiler*

I just saw a flying penguin, I have to tell you it was the most majestic thing I've ever seen! I don't feel like living because I feel nothing will ever be as majestic as that. I never want to see again if nothing will ever be that beautiful again. I am crying now and plan on ripping my eyes out. I must go now to do that.

This statement is about as coherent as my understanding of this game.

I may as well recommend it!

To me, playing this game was like watching a piece of modern art: if you don't get it right away, it needs more explanation than just watching and experiencing it, and so it loses its magic.

It is a very deep yet very own personal work of the author. If you have never experienced a struggle like the one descibed, it is really hard to get the meaning straight away.

If you just finished it and feel like understanding what the hell you just played, go and read this: Blogpost "Game of the year" [www.galactic-cafe.com]

[All of the following is my opinion.]

I absolutely adore The Beginner's Guide. Truthfully this is one of the most valuable experiences you will find for sale on Steam. Make no mistake, this is not a game (at least in the conventional sence of the label), but it perhaps surpasses that standard.
If you buy this game, keep an open mind, and realise that perhaps you won't enjoy it in the way you're used to enjoying games. But if you have any doubts as to whether you want to buy a walking simulator (which this most certainly is not), then you should reconsider either your choice to play this or your definition of worth the price.

Personally, I believe that The Beginner's Guide is one of the best things on which you could spend $10 USD - heck, just ignore the price. If you truly are after a rare experience, an indescribable notion, an emotional meteor shower, or even just food for thought, then I recommend this for you. However, if you're after just another game to enjoy and to consume, highly acclaimed or otherwise, then maybe this isn't for you, and just maybe you should go rethink your values.

Honestly very disapointed in this game. It is literally just a story, nothing more at all. Definitely not worth more than $2.

I was expecting something atleast somewhat like The Stanely Parable, but it was nothing like it at all. I kept waiting for the game to get good, but it never did.

I really don't see how this can even be considered a game really. There are no real choices in the game. Watching someone on youtube play this will give you the same exact experience.

This game left me an emotional wreck. I haven't felt anything for a long time and then I played this. It made me cry and I don't even know how. I've never played this sort of a game, simply because I don't think these kinds of games exist. This is the only one I've come across. The narrator starts off very professional, bit by bit he becomes way more personal and then just leaves. The game is absolutely worth buying, I did during the Summer Sale of '17. I'm not a 100% sure how to feel about the narrator as a person. I get his side of the story but he did do wrong by Coda. If you have no idea what I'm on about, GO PLAY THIS. SERIOUSLY. if you look at the time I played this for, and think that 9€ (or 4 during the summer sale) is way too much to spend on a 2ish hour playing experience, you're thinking wrong. The game is philosophical, sad, and true. I could not recommend it any more than I do now.

The Beginner's Guide isn't what it seems on the surface. What starts as a look into the mind of an indepedent, isolated game developer turns into a story of self-reflection and curiosity. If there was just one word to summize my feelings, it would be "invigorating".

Towards the end of the game, you have some time to yourself (the player). You have to think of all that transpired, all that happened and wonder, "Have I done this?", "Am I one guy or the other?", or even "What's next for me?" This game -- while not a game in the traditional sense of the word -- is an eye-opening adventure that will get you to think about yourself and the implications of what this game has to offer.

If you're like me, you'll empathize with both of the characters in this short, insightful piece behind the mind of the Stanley Parable.

I'd never really given much thought about the tormented, tortured minds of game developers, and even less thought to the people who love them.
I just like to play their games... generally.
Like, honestly, I don't know... is this Coda a real person that, as a gamer, I should know about, or is he some half baked alter ego of Davey's? ( I'm not even sure if what I just wrote would be considered a spoiler or not.)
Seriously, we are not getting much here for our money. I mean, it woulda been nice if Davey had thrown a few Steam Trading Cards, into the deal.. but evidently he was in enough hot water with Coda, as it was...
And, honestly, even with Steam Trading Cards, I'd still have to thumb The Beginner's Guide down.
Here[imgur.com], I even made some, to prove it.

A game that takes you on a journey - a psychological journey - maybe slower than you might like - maybe too much - or, worse, not enough - there is something deep here, but it is not a game. it is art. But art with a message that has emotion. Enjoy it. It has the thing that makes The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey work - more than is on the screen... Yet... still... indulgent.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked up this game. A professor recommended it to me...followed by a friend...followed by Extra Credits. And then it went on sale. So I bought it.

And it wasn't until today--probably three weeks later--that I decided to finally sit down and play it. For the sake of spoilers, I can't say anything. This is a game that is best experienced with fresh eyes. Also, it's a game best experienced in one playthrough--approximately an hour and a half. And for anyone who's crying, "BUT LITVAC, THAT'S SO EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A SHORT GAME. OH, HOW MY WALLET ACHES. OH NOOOOOOOO-", you can stop that. Right now. This game is so...so impactful. It tells a deep and emotional narrative not just through actual dialogue but through playing the game itself. And it's sad. It's really sad. But it makes you think about games. It makes you think about the people who create them. And, most importantly, it makes you think about the way we individually consume them. That's why The Beginner's Guide is so great. After playing this, I would've still bought it if it were at an even higher price...because you won't find a narrative like this in a 60+ hour AAA game.

The Beginner's Guide is special. Please play it.

It may come off as pretentious and it may very well be. This is the first 'walking simulator' that I've ever played. And some would say that it's not for everyone. I would say that it's not for every TIME. The game fit perfectly in a time in my life where I could understand what it tried to say about validation and the irresistible urge to fix things that actually just gives you that much needed sensation of control. I cannot qualify this game as good or bad. I cannot, for the life of me, qualify it as an actual game. It's a story. Where you use WASD and the mouse. It has a message and it does convey emotion. That is what art's purpose is. So... is it good? I really don't know. Would I recommend it? Wholeheartedly!

!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I have played this game two times over and here is what I think. In my personal opinion this game is amazing, its a beautiful story that really affected me emotionally. After I completed my first playthrough I felt really sad. Davey is an amazing narrator and displays it tremendously is this story. The way he tells the story is really moving, and it just makes me stop and think about the whole story.

Now the question is raised... Is this a true story?

Here is what I think. I divide the playerbase (hypothetically) into two categories, people who believe it, and people who don't. I think that despite what you believe you will still enjoy the game. From my point of view after the first time I played it I fully was immersed in the story and was just amazed. I felt so emotionally attached to the story and kept asking myself questions. I talked a lot with my friend who suggested the game to me and we talked for hours about it. I left that conversation wondering about Coda. Asking myself "Is he okay?" "Where is he now?" "Why did Davey make this game?" Then I just stopped thinking about it.


So a year and a half passes. Then this whole COVID-19 thing happened and I was left inside nothing to do. I decided to play through it again. Still enjoying it to the fullest. Slowly I realize that the story is a bit far fetched. I do some research and talk more with my friends and I realize something...

This story is not real.

This guy Davey he takes someones games who doesn't want him to and uploads it to a public platform for $9.99? Of course not. Now like I said earlier I still enjoy the game, despite whether I believe the story. However, this made me a little sad. Nonetheless I recommend this game. I would suggest playing it twice to get a full grasp on the story. So I guess the last thing to say is this. Thank you Davey for this amazing experience of a game.

Таких игр очень мало, поэтому не все воспринимают игры как искусство. Мне кажется что игры, с подобной атмосферой и погружением могут послужить людям проводником для понимая внутренних состояний, переживаний и ощущений других людей.
Подобный опыт должен получить каждый, я настоятельно рекомендую всем пройти эту игру.

I have mixed feelings about this game. Is it worth playing? Yes. Is it real? I don't know. I suppose whether or not it's real or fabricated definitely affects the lens you look at the game through. In a way, believing it's real makes it better. But, in another way, believing it's real makes it worse, too.

I'd recommend it.

This game is really unlike any of the other 'meta' games that exist. It's kind of hard to describe, but I'd say it's far more of a personal story of the creator than a 'game'.

I don't think I should say any more about The Beginner's Guide because it's really something you ought to experience on your own. There's nothing else like it, and for that alone it deserves to be experienced.

But I think what you'll find will stay with you for a long while. It did me.

The Beginner's Guide - O Guia do Iniciante

Diferente de outras reviews que compartilhei aqui, essa terá que seguir uma outra forma... O jogo não tem uma espinha dorsal tradicional, ele não segue uma forma conhecida. Ele não é linear (mesmo sendo linear na narrativa).
Dentro deste caos, deste espírito livre e disforme, você é convidado à interpretar à sua maneira esta história:

Minhas Interpretações:
(podem haver leves "indiretas de spoiler" nestas 4 impressões abaixo)
  • O jogo é basicamente uma ode, um tributo à uma amizade, mas ao mesmo tempo é um pedido de perdão. Forte, cru, recheado de sentimentos incômodos e muita emoção. Chorar é quase que não opcional (ou pelo menos sua vista ficará marejada).

  • O jogo é um diário pessoal de Davey Wreden (e seu "alter ego fictício") aberto aos gamers, aberto a nós. Um convite feito ao jogador para enxergar da forma mais desnuda a alma conflitante de um criador / programador / artista diante do "bloqueio criativo".

  • Um bate papo pessoal, compilado e dividido de uma forma convidativa e interativa.

  • Esta experiência é um chamado à reflexão sobre nosso papel nos relacionamentos sociais bem como diante da nossa própria vida (e de outros).

    Talvez sejam estes 4 pontos juntos.

Sei que The Beginner's Guide tocou a mim de uma maneira tão forte e singular que é certo que fique marcada essa experiência, em mim, por um bom, bom tempo. Eu não iria tão longe a ponto de dizer que o jogo é brilhante ou genial. Tampouco eu seria irresponsável ou maluco de dizer que ele é um simulador de caminhada ou história interativa.

Ele não é só isso nem é tudo isso. O diálogo final do jogo (ou próximo do final) é tão recheado de verdade que você pode tirar o chapéu se descobrir que foi apenas uma bela interpretação - da forma mais visceral e sincera por parte do dublador.
Acaso não tenha sido uma interpretação, mas um momento "sincericida" por parte do autor, então é possível dizer que aquele momento é tão forte e emocionante quanto.

A jornada é tão insólita e clara (ao mesmo tempo) que é simplesmente IMPOSSÍVEL ficar indiferente enquanto se joga. É uma caminhada curta, é verdade - demorei menos de 3 hrs para finalizá-la (e isso porque eu gosto de fazer tudo sem a menor pressa, além de parar e observar bastante o que me cerca).

Dentro de sua proposta, creio que o jogo entrega aquilo que promete - até porque ele não promete quase nada, além de ser uma jornada acerca da mente criativa de um criador de jogos e de artistas em geral.

Não posso falar muito sobre o jogo sem estragar a experiência de alguém curioso em conhecê-lo, tendo dito isso eu resumo minha nota em números
10

Claro que o jogo não é perfeito e talvez você encontre alguma inconsistência na proposta de seu criador ou mesmo no "roteiro", mas isso importa?
A jornada final não é o que mais conta num jogo como este?
Minha viagem foi tão prazerosa e incômoda, tão intensa e emocionante que me deixou refletindo e pensando sobre muitas coisas em minha própria vida e quando um jogo consegue fazer isso eu não posso deixar de pelo menos me levantar e bater palmas pra ele.

Pode soar dramático e exagerado o que eu escrevo, mas ao mesmo tempo não é menos verdadeiro - o jogo pra mim teve todos estes significados aí acima.

Sim eu recomendo este jogo pra você que:
  • Entenda inglês (não há legendas em PT)

  • Queira uma experiência pouco tradicional com foco em um bom "roteiro"

  • Consiga se entregar à imersões e experiências mais profundas sem maiores dificuldades (acaso você não tenha esse perfil mais "adulto", talvez o jogo não seja pra você - não é uma crítica, é uma observação apenas)

  • Curta jogos estilo "simulador de caminhada" (se procura um RPG, Ação, Luta, Roguelike, FPS, Corrida... ignore)

Dê uma chance ao The Beginner's Guide e nem precisa aguardar redução no preço - ele vale seu investimento.

여러가지 관점에서 볼 수 있는 작품.

가장 좁게 보면 '게임 개발자'
관점을 조금 넓히면 '창작자'
조금 다른 시선으로 보면 '사람과 사람의 관계(-창작자와 그의 창작물을 수용하는 사람들이 포함된)' 에 대하여 말하는 작품이라 생각한다.
혹은 이 모든 것 일지도 모른다.

작품 내에서 이러한 '메세지'에 대하여 확실하게 정의하는 바가 없기 때문에
이것들을 어떻게 받아들일지는 개인의 몫.

하지만 적어도 '무언가를 만들고자 하는 사람' 이라면 게임 중간중간 자신이 겪었던 일들이 빗대어 보일 것이다.
고갈된 아이디어, 고쳐질 기미가 보이지 않는 문제들, 재능과 역량의 한계, 자신의 의도와는 다르게 해석되어버리고 왜곡되는 자신의 창작물 등
창작의 과정에서 생기는, 그리고 계속해서 생길 예정인 이 어려움들은 어떤 창작자이던 겪을 수 밖에 없는 문제일테니.

'스탠리 패러블'이 "이런 것도 게임이 될 수 있다" 라고 느껴지는 작품이라면
본 게임은 "이런 것도 게임이 될 수 있을까?" 라는 생각이 드는 작품이다.
그만큼 게임이라는 매체의 통상적인 틀을 과감하게 벗어나려는 시도를 했기 때문이지 않을까.

Despues de jugar y disfrutar enormemente The Stanley Parable, probé suerte ♥♥♥ la nueva obra de Davey Wreden.
Antes de nada, explicar que esto no es un videojuego al uso. Esto es una experiencia narrativa, un vehículo de reflexión,
un ejercicio de introspección. No espereis barras de vida, logros, coleccionables. No espereis New Game +, ni espereis gráficos punteros. Esto es un camino guiado que intenta introducirnos en la mente de otra persona a través de sus creaciones. Creaciones complejas, creaciones susceptibles de ser interpretadas de muchas formas distintas. Esto es, al fin y a la postre, una historia (parcialmente) interactiva. Si los videojuegos para ti son simplemente apretar botones un par de horas al mes, este no es tu juego. Si los videojuegos, sin embargo, son para ti una forma de arte (de entender el mundo, al fin y al cabo) y al igual que muchos de nosotros has disfrutado de su evolución y desarrollo (en todos los sentidos) durante las últimas dos décadas, este experimento es (bajo mi punto de vista) obligado. Es, al fin y a la postre, filosofía del videojuego. Una obra de arte.

No voy a mentir. Al terminar el juego, me la pasé 30 minutos frente a la pantalla de menú observando a la nada. Me sentí extrañamente identificada ♥♥♥ tantas cosas que se dijeron en la narración.
Seamos realistas, no muchos juegos nos llegan al corazón. Este es de los pocos que me han sacado lágrimas y mis sentimientos salieron a flote al meditar todo lo escuchado/leído en esto.
Una obra maestra, simplemente.
A pesar de su duración, el mensaje que deja es tan inspirador y reflexivo que parece imposible que lo hayas visto en 1.6 horas (mínimo).
100% recomendado para aquellos que quieren experimentar el mismo sentimiento de alegría/tristeza que yo sentí.

Fajn pohodová hra, kde vypravěč vypráví o jeho kamarádovi, který vymýšlel hry, ale nechtěl je vydávat.
Bohužel celkově to bylo tak nějak o ničem, ale taková hra na pohodu a k zamyšlení.
Navíc Je možné si stáhnout z http://www.fenixprodabing.cz/projekt/the-beginner-s-guide český DABING, který je podle mho opravdu skvělý :)

Saying something has meaning does not magically ascribe it some deep meaningfullness, this game is boring and preachy, with sub par commantary, no humour, and in trying too hard to be artistic, fails on every level.

This game is not fun, this game is not innovated, only buy this game if you are a teenage goth who has nothing better to do.

Mmmm... Es complicado... The beginner's Guide es un juego bastante diferente a otros juegos, esa diferencia que se pudo apreciar en The Stanley Parable y por lo tanto lo entretenido del juego esta justamente en la narrativa y como esta se complementa ♥♥♥ lo que el jugador puede ver, y en algunos casos hacer. El juego es corto pero disfrute ese poco tiempo bastante, es entretenido pero no de la forma que otro tipo de juego te puede dar, como un shooter o un plataformero. Quizas esa entretencion reacae en lo interesante, si lo juegas entendaras mas de lo que hablo, viendo la historia. Quizas hay que darle unas 2-3 vueltas para entenderlo mejor, pero se puede disfrutar tranquilamente desde la primera vez.

En resumen, es un juego muy bueno, bastante interesante, que en cierta forma actua como un curso para entender mejor a los juegos o aprender a admirarlos de otra forma y saber valorarlos algo mejor como medio de expresion. Quizas te deje pensativo dado lo que se narra como lo intimo que llega a ser y como se desarrolla en esas 2 horas de juego aprox (Si le vas dando tiempo a algunas cosas) Al final te dejara ♥♥♥ algo.

This game disturbed me on a very personal level. This game made me feel a lot of emotions regarding decisions I have made over the last couple years. This game moved me. Far.

Maybe I'm being a little arbitrary. But that's all I really can do. This game needs to be experienced in order to be explained.

It explores the complexity of some very important points regarding being a creator, a friend, and a person. It made me rethink what it means to create something, be it a piece of art or a video, and think why someone even started creating it in the first place. But aside from that, as I am not a creator of any sorts, it made me look in to relationships I have had, close friends I have kept, and how I thought I was being nice and a great friend to them, but I was really destroying them. It hit me really close to home. At some points I felt like I could have been in the narrorator's seat at any moment. I connected with this game on a such personal level.

However, I wish not to spoil. Please, play this game if you are a creator of art or know one. Play this game if you strugge with your creativity or your relationships.

Introduction

Brought to us by Davey Wreden, the creator of the much acclaimed The Stanley Parable, The Beginner’s Guide is a narrative video game that (as Wreden puts it) “tells the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand”. Lasting only 90 minutes and lacking any real goal or objectives, The Beginner’s Guide shares a story that is both deep and thrilling.

Gameplay

The game begins with Davey Wreden narrating; he tells us about his friend Coda, a game developer who created a compilation of video games. Wreden guides us as we experience and explore this series of games. He talks about the connection between a game and the creator and how the player can get to understand the creator as they play the game.

The individual games are truly fascinating. In one game, you can only walk backwards while in another, you’re shown a series of prisons that Coda has designed As we progress through each game, Wreden tells us about Coda and presents his interpretation of each game and why Coda made it. Some of the games were made to play unplayable; in one game, the player is placed in a prison cell and has to wait an hour, while in another, the player climbs a set of stairs only to find their movement slowed to a stop. Wreden changes these features in the games in an attempt to make the game “playable”.

Wreden guides us through what seems to be a horribly personal journey as he addresses very heavy topics such as self-doubt and depression.

Pros
  • Extremely Powerful and Compelling Storytelling
  • The message is very deep and each play through offers something new
  • Very elegant and everything (the music, the story, the narration, etc.) just falls together perfectly
  • A unique game at a reasonable price tag

♥♥♥♥
  • Its flashy or action packed as a lot of games and is more of a guided tour than a game. This isn’t
  • really a ♥♥♥ for me but I figured I would put this here.
  • At 90 minutes per play through, its definitely on the shorter end of the scale
  • You might need a box of tissues once you’re done

Conclusion

This is one of the few games that made me wish I could forget everything and play it again. Having played and thoroughly enjoyed The Stanley Parable, I was extremely hyped for this and I can say, without hesitation, that it exceeded my expectations. The Beginner’s Guide is a short interactive story with a very deep message.

Rating: 9.5/10

Deixe-me começar essa review já dizendo: Este jogo não é um jogo

Você não tem pontos de vida, mana. Não pode atirar, ou se defender. Não pode se esconder, ou sair correndo dos monstros assustadores. Isso é uma história, contada por um narrador, em que você vai de ponto A ao ponto B. Simples assim.
Isso quer dizer que você tem que evitar esse jogo? De jeito nenhum! Tirando a parte do gameplay, que é nulo, a história é o que faz esse "não-jogo" brilhar. A conexão que você tem com o desenvolvedor, a trilha sonora que vai manipular seus sentimentos, e seus pensamentos vão fazer você se conectar com esse mundo, essa história que está sendo contada.
Mas se não tem gameplay nenhuma nesse jogo, não era mais fácil a história ser contada por um livro, ou uma música? Talvez, mas um livro não te dará uma clara representação do que ele quer dizer. O jogo em si é a chave da história, e sem ela, não teria o mesmo significado
É um jogo magnífico, e eu recomendo para pessoas que talvez estejam se perguntando: "porque eu gosto de videogames tanto assim?". Esse jogo irá lhe responder essa pergunta. Com certeza, foi para mim. E se não responder, pelo menos irá lhe dar as ferramentas necessárias para isso.

Então, tem gameplay? não. É divertido? não. Pelo menos os gráficos são bonitos? meh, já vi melhores. Mas a história? De tirar o fôlego.

AH, pegue esse jogo em uma sale. É uma experiencia e tanto, mas não vale o preço que cobra. A história é fantástica, mas não vale isso tudo, se não tem gameplay nem nada. hehe :3

You should watch the trailer for this game twice - once before and once after you've played it. Trust me - it's like watching two different trailers. And even if it doesn't work in your case than at least you've played the game and hopefully enjoyed it for what it was. So, is the game worth giving it a go in the first place? If you're a gamer who likes narrative-driven games the answer is: yes, yes it is. But if you're a designer, writer, artist, creator of some sort, and especially if you make video games, than this is one game you just can't miss out on, but not for the reasons you think of right now! Trust me.

***Rant about negative reviews incoming (minor spoilers). If you haven't played the game or simply don't care about me ranting just skip to the last paragraph***

I find it funny how people giving this game a negative review write 10-paragraph essays analyzing what the author intended to convey and pointing out where he failed to deliver on those intentions. Where they berate him for creating an "emotional confessional" and then trying to charge money for it. Where they accuse the game of being too disconnected, or too personal, too deep, or too shallow, or too confusing, or too simplistic, that you have to play The Stanley Parable to understand it, or that it has nothing to do with The Stanley Parable, that there's a clear message, or that there's no message at all. No joke, the most negative reviews are also the longest ones here, like the authors of those reviews are compelled to apologize for playing, to explain their motivations behind not jumping on the hype train, to express that they feel like they are the ones who have failed somehow... If you've already played the game you know where I'm going with this. Maybe they should write Davey Wreden an email. After all, he clearly stated his email address in the game.

But ok, let us not be the outcasts here - left out of the loop of people who have something substantial to say about this game. Let us try and do an analysis of the plot right here and now. In fact, let us one-up everyone and go extra-meta on this one: let us try and extrapolate the narrative portrayed in this game into the real world, Inception-style, and what we get is...

MASSIVE SPOILERS INCOMING!!! OMG!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT DON'T READ ANY FURTHER THAN THAT VERY SENTENCE!!!

I WARNED YOU!

Seriously.

What we get is the realization that this game is... just a game. It's a piece of interactive media with a well defined narrative attached to it for dramatic purposes, and it relies on immersion to build an enjoyable experience for the player. This is why Davey Wreden opted to reveal his name and email address in the game. This is why he build this emotional attachment to Coda. Remember, this is Davey Wreden we're talking about here - the man who's sole purpose in life is to dissect a piece of narrative and turn it on its head in order to entertain you, to catch you off guard. The Davey Wreden in the game is not the same Davey Wreden who wrote the game. Coda isn't real. None of it is supposed to mean anything, beyond that what you make of it, and whether it provided 1.5 hours of entertainment for you. And even if that's your argument against it - that Davey doesn't do a very good job at immersing you in the narrative, than fair point - maybe you just weren't feeling it. We will just have to agree to disagree. But trying to analyze the game based on your assumptions of what is or what isn't real, how Davey felt or didn't feel when making this game, and whether he has or hasn't the ability or even the right to convey a hidden personal message of some sort, and then making a judgment call in a review based on that analysis is not only futile, it's... exactly what the game is about in the first place. The death of the author. Don't get me wrong, everyone has an opinion and some people even have interpretations (including me), and there's nothing wrong with that, but as soon as you make a judgment call on something that may or may not be there, you're digging your own hole to fall into and you're dragging others with you. Now, go watch the trailer again, but instead of Davey's voice, try and hear your own voice in your head.

***Rant finished. Closing thoughts follow***

So, does this game "do it for me"? Yes! I felt immersed and emotional while I played it and afterwards it got me thinking about some things for a while, specifically, how Davey can think out of the box in order to build this fantastic narrative, this illusion that leaves a lasting impression. To me, he's already looking to be one of the most influential writers/artists/creators of our generation. One who will be discussed in art and media schools for years to come. It's perhaps too early to call him the Quentin Tarantino of video games, but keep an eye on this guy because he's sure a hell headed in the right direction! Just google "Pleasurable You". Or maybe don't - I kinda feel bad for writing this now.

I don't think there was a minute in those 2 hours where I didn't have goosebumps. Interpret the game as you may, this is a different experience from what you're used to call games.

Be warned though that you're paying the price for around 2 hours of gameplay in an interactive story telling piece of art.

Great game, really makes you think about what it means to know a person. About what creativity is. About how we tend to think we always know better.

...Only, I wouldn't say it's worth € 9.

Should I reccomend it? Probably. The game is certainly worth your time. But is it worth it's price? Not in my book, sadly.

Les evaluations longues et penible sont peu lu alors je vais essayer de faire simple. Si vous achetez ce jeu, vous l'achetez pour qu'on vous raconte une histoire réel par des jeux, pour que vous viviez une experience. J'ai adorée cette experience. Cela m'a donnée une autre vision du jeux video. Bref je vous le recommande mais ne vous plaignez pas si la durée du jeu est très courte, je vous aurait prevenu et cela n'a aucune conséquence sur l'experience que j'ai vécu.
PS: Coda, i enjoyed what you done it got so sense to me :)

I...I broke down crying twice while playing this game. The last time I shed a tear over a game was the ending of The Last of Us, and that was only a mild wetting of the eyes. I imagine that there are players who won't connect with this game. They have lead lives that have taken them down different paths and don't identify with either of the two charecters in this game, but if you have ever felt like a failure in life or if you have worried about if it is possible to make a real change in your behavior, then you might understand and empathize with what this game is saying. Is that a recommendation? That this game can make you feel like ♥♥♥♥? I don't really know, but it's enough to make me give it a thumbs up. The game is a 2 hour short story about creativity, connecting with others, and depression with basically no player agency. If that sounds like something you want to experience then this game delivers.

游戏内所展示的一部部作品都是作者内心世界的表达,包括这个游戏本身

并非迎合大众的玩法,游戏主要目的是通过场景互动推动剧情前进。若喜欢《去月球》《看火人》《史丹利的寓言》这类剧情导向、有独特艺术特征的游戏,本作绝不会让你失望。再者...难道你不想知道这些demo是怎么串成一个故事的吗?

咳,有些感触,涉及剧透直接提示

从刚进入游戏开始,我一直都认为是旁白,也就是Davey,在尽自己最大的努力去
游玩并理解Coda的游戏,并以此来揣摩Coda的想法帮助他走出自闭,远离孤独。
我真心希望Davey能帮助到Coda

直到进入Coda制作的最后一个游戏 塔 的房间

Davey构建的完美故事才被展现了真实容貌
这个反转让我的脑袋震惊的转不过弯来

我想说些什么,我想理解些什么,我也想评判一些什么
但是我没办法划清一些东西
也许Coda是真的喜欢做监狱游戏
也许Davey是真的想要帮助Coda走出一个人的世界
这些可能只有他们知道了

只是,我从其中感受到了刻骨的孤独,彻头彻尾
感觉到了一个孤独的人想要靠近另一个孤独的人
感受到了孤独衍生出的自卑虚荣和厌恶以及迷惘
以及不管驻足或者离开,其实只有你自己


顺带一提,我喜欢Coda那间充满有趣点子的小房间。

たった今ゲームが終わったからレビューを書こうかと思ったけど文章がまとまらない・・・。だから思ったことを書いていく。
まず、このゲームは面白かったけど期待はずれだった。

面白い点!
人間関係の軋轢や、複雑なメタフィクション、そして二転三転して最後には繋がるストーリー。
あとなんと言ったらいいのか・・・、このゲームは自分がキャラクターになったという錯覚を覚える。
ストーリーに共感して引き込まれるから、どの選択肢を選んでも結末が変わらない一本道のゲームだから『とかじゃない』
文字通り誰かに操作されているような奇妙な感覚。誰かがプレイしているゲームを中から見ているような・・・。
そんな壮大なメタフィクションと自己完結の世界に入り込めるこのゲームはやはり面白いと思う。

期待はずれだった点!
ならなぜこのゲームをオススメしないか。
それはこのゲームの冒頭でゲームに必要なのは何か、という議論があったが私の思うゲームに必要なものは『期待通り』か『予想外』だ。
じゃあこのゲームには何を期待する?The Stanley Parableのようなプレイヤーの予想を遥かに上回る展開が繰り広げられるストーリーだと思う。しかし残念ながらThe Beginner's Guideではそれが無かった。もしくは僕が感じ取れなかった。
『後方』は本当に感動してしまったから、それからの展開に期待しすぎたのかもしれない。

でも僕はこの作品が好きだ。だって予想外の展開があったから。それは、僕は最初色んなミニゲームをやっていくことでcodaや作品に込められた意図を解き明かしていくものだと思っていた。しかし途中から僕は人間関係に焦点を置いてプレイしていた。The Stanley Parableでもそうだったが、The Beginner's Guideも問題提起としての一面がある。(と勝手に思っている)それは色んな人に見てもらう価値のあるものだった。

さて、長くなったけどやっぱりオススメしない最大の理由は、作中のDavey氏が僕の嫌いな人物像っていうのが大きいかも。ごめんね。

I enjoyed this game, although with its extremely short gameplay lifetime and slightly pretentious feel, I'm not sure I could justify this game being sold for even 10$ for most people. The story is direct and has its own sort of meaning that is told in a way that even discussing what it is would be a heavy spoiler. It is extremely linear, but the level design and narration given are extremely enjoyable for the walkalong ride this game has. Something to keep in mind throughout the game is that everything, even the narrator, is fictional. While this may not seem important, the 1st person way of speaking that the narrator has and his discussion is deliberately written the way it is, and not as a mouthpiece for the author to try and speak his mind on the level design. Even the narrator's flaws and his small comments are a part of the story in the beginner's guide.

This isn't a game, it is simply a story. It is just a walking simulator that requires audio, yet it has some of the deepest emotions tied to a real person's life. It isn't fantasy, it is from a person just like you, or me, and it couldn't be more heart renching.

The Beginner's Guide führt den Spieler durch mehrere begehbare Sequenzen eines namenlosen Entwicklers. Davey Wreden, der Macher von The Beginner's Guide und gleichzeitig Erzähler und Reiseführer, spricht bei jeder Sequenz von einem eigenen Spiel. Davon kann aber eigentlich keine Rede sein, denn es gibt kaum Interaktivität oder sinnvolle Tätigkeiten, die ein Spiel ausmachen würden. Stattdessen bewegt man sich durch die zum Teil kuriosen Level, die allesamt geradlinig verlaufen, und lauscht den Interpretationen des Erzählers.

Das Spiel an sich ist gänzlich unspektakulär. Es gibt keine Explosionen, keine echten Charaktere, keine hübsche Grafik und auch keine atmosphärische Welt. Selbst die Story bleibt trivial, auch wenn sie gegen Ende hin sehr emotional wird.

Was ich allerdings sehr bemerkenswert finde, ist, dass Wreden es geschafft hat, aus den völlig lieblos gestalteten (und teilweise unfertigen) Level ein richtiges und fesselndes Spiel zu formen. Wreden erzählt von seinen Eindrücken, interpretiert und mutmaßt über die Gedankengänge des namenlosen Entwicklers. Manchmal wird es philosophisch und in manchen Fällen sogar psychologisch.

Fazit: The Beginner's Guide ist ein völlig anderes Spiel als Wredens vorletzter Titel "The Stanley Parable". Beide Titel haben aber eine Gemeinsamkeit: Das großartige Storytelling.

One of those if you have an hour or 2 free, go for it. Presented well enough with you and the narrator going through it together. It's just an interractive story exploring themes about anxiety or general acceptance fears. Might be worth one or 2 quid if you're into that sort of thing.

Not for me at the asking price though. No need to explore or play twice, there's literally nothing else. maybe a metaphor in itself, but probably not.

My single favourite narrative video game, potentially my favourite narrative across every media format. Very focused and tightly-written, yet has ideas that are all-encompassing, exploring a subject I haven't seen any other piece of fiction tackle. A must-play if you're interested in literary analysis at all

Now, I don't usually write reviews. But there's something in this so called "game" that really struck me. Never have I ever played something so comparable to a work of art in a steam game, or any game for that matter. The way that this game delivered an emotional feeling of guilt really intrigued me.

This is for sure not a game that you will play for hours, as you will simply not want to due to the effect it makes. However, in this game, just over an hour of playtime reflected an endless amount of hours of personal experience for me.

My total playtime on this game is 1.6hrs and the game finished. It is a very short game with only 1 ending (unlike stanley parable).

Actually you cant call this a game because it doesn't fit into the description of traditional game. its like watching a documentary or readings ones letter but not deffinitaly playing a game.

If you want to have fun dont play this game. This game is depressing. This game gives you chills. This game makes you sad at the end which it aims.

Nevertheless despite being short and not being "fun" in my opinion this game deserves my money and my time spent on it to the last bit of it.

To be honest when i first heard about it i thought this will be like Stanley Parable,you know like a comedi game.When the narrator told us that he created it i had more concerns about it,but to tell you i was wrong.This game had no nothing as funny as Stanly Parable it was more serious and i like that better too,don't get me wrong i like funny games but i like more whne it has a meaning and a deep story.I won't spoiler anything and this game is out for like 1 year i hope that they will make games like this and i hope if Kona exists that he will gets this message and make more games too :)
I recomend this and i bought it on sale but i would buy it for even 60 euros :)

Don't read spoilers. Clear your schedule for a few hours. Turn off your phone and other communication methods. Sit in your most comfortable chair. Get a container of your favourite beverage. Start the game. Turn on the sound. Enjoy the ride. Be intrigued. Be confused. Be... Whatever you want to be.

First, read the description for the game. No, don't just read it. Take the time to understand what it's telling you. Are you ok with an interactive narrative? Are you ok with being a little uncomfortable (or a lot)?

It's hard to really write a review some something that is like this. I think I learned a lot about myself and I felt I had to take a hard look at how I was treating other people. It was fun and it was enlightening.

After just finishing "The Beginner's Guide", I was left with a sad, sombre feeling. But I was moved & had experienced something real within a game enviroment. Something that doesn't happen so often. Most of the time we are aware that our feelings are being manipulated by the media we have chosen, be it music, books, films or games. "The Beginner's Guide" is both art & a form of letter, thrown out there for the right ones to get.

It is not really a game, but in a sense it is a puzzle. If you expect a game though, you may be frustrated with what it offers. It is nothing like the "Stanley Parable". In fact to link the two titles together, as many promotions and trailers have done, is a huge mistake & doesn't do this title any favours. This isn't for everyone.

It starts off almost like a documentary & ends on a highly personal, emotional note. Like someone opening a floodgate of inner thoughts that aren't even filtered or sorted, & you're left with sorting out your own emotional response to it.
It is a unique experience, for better or for worse, depending on how you take it, or what you read into it.

It made me think about what I love so much about games generally. That you usually have clear goals, even if they sometimes are hard to achieve, you have goals, solutions, you reach an end. You feel accomplishment. Unlike life, which doesn't have clear goals, a given path, right or wrong, even when you might think it does. Life and all it's variables are infinitely more complex than anything else we experience, it's the sum of everything, and it continues on until we die, whether we follow lines & achieve goals along the way or not. That's why playing games can be such a comfort at times. Little pieces of clarity amids the sometimes chaotic feelings one has as a human being.

"The Beginner's Guide" is not comforting to experience, but it feels important, & it enriched me. And therefor I recommend it.

Wow. This game tells a powerful story. It's hard to explain, but it made me experience some emotions; For a video game, that's a tall order to fill.

The Beginner's Guide ist ein kurzes Spiel, mit nicht viel Interaktion aber dafür mit umso besserer Story.


Der Entwickler von The Stanley Parable erzählt die Geschichte von seinem Freund Coda, der kleine Spiele entwickelt.
Der Erzähler zeigt zunächst das erste "Spiel" von Coda, eine Map für Counter-Strike 1.6.
Mit weiterlaufender Story zeigt der Erzähler immer weitere Spiele von Coda, die einen immer mehr zur freien Interpretation
bringen. Dazu gibt der Erzähler seine persöhnlichen Gedanken und seine Erfahrung mit Coda hinzu.

Pro:
-Erzähler spricht einen direkt an
-Die Story bringt einen sehr zum nachdenken
-Basiert auf Ereignissen der echten Welt
-Original-Spiele von Coda
-Etwas komplett neues

Contra:
-Lässt öfters zu wenig Zeit um zwischendurch über die Ereignisse nachzudenken
-Deutsche Übersetzung teilweise unvollständig, falsch übersetzt und teilweise grammatikalisch falsch

Wer ein Spiel haben möchte, das einen zumm Nachdenken bringt und dabei auf gute Grafik oder Gameplay verzichten kann, dem kann ich das Spiel empfehlen, jedoch eher wenn es im Angebot ist.

8/10

The Beginner's Guide logo me chamou a atenção por ter esse lado mais psicológico, profundo. Ele não foi feito para você simplesmente o jogar, e sim para você ouvir aquilo o que Davey tem a dizer, junto dele tentar entender a situação na qual ele se encontra - A relação dele com o amigo Coda e o que os jogos feitos pelo Coda querem transpassar, seja um pensamento mais abrangente ou apenas sentimentos confusos presos dentro de si - para, no final, você mesmo tirar as suas conclusões: o uso desse tipo de técnica na construção de histórias é chamada de "a morte do autor", ou algo do tipo. Concordar, discordar, aceitar ou não as mensagens contidas no jogo é de livre interpretação para cada um.

A veces intento hacer análisis estúpidos o divertidos, pero hoy no. Este no es un juego divertido ni alegre ni rejugable ni ♥♥♥ unas mecánicas innovadoras, es más, debatiría incluso si realmente es un juego. Sin embargo, la sensación que transmite, la historia, la música, la narración cruda del autor... El dolor en el pecho mientras lo juegas y la mirada perdida al terminarlo... No lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, pero lo recomiendo, de verdad. Eso sí, compradlo ♥♥♥ mucha oferta porque el único defecto que tiene es su precio desorbitado.

Was soll ich dazu sagen? Ich sitze wortlos vor den Tasten. Eigentlich sollte man keine Review schreiben wenn man Nichts zu sagen hat. Aber was ist wenn man einfach nicht die Worte findet?
Ich kann nur sagen, dass ich bisher wenig Spiele gefunden habe die mich im positiven Sinne so sprachlos hinterlassen haben. Sollten alle Spiele so sein? Oh bitte nicht! Aber das war seid langem das erfrischenste was ich spielen durfte.
Für mich persönlich ,als Fan von Erzählungen, ein Favorit auf meine Lifetime Top 10!

It's not a game... It's a piece of art. I cannot think much of it right now because i just finished it. It gives a mass of dots to a person playing, the dots aren't connected, but the player is is connecting it after getting all the dots. Game is very emotional and challenges you to get the author. The answer is unexpectable.

*Spoilers might be there*

The game starts with a simple project of a Davey's (this collection author) friend Coda. It is a simple cs 1.6 map and Coda is showing, that the map is something unique, because some things are misplaced, unnormal. It surely was something that fascinated Coda to create new games... A way to express himself. Some games are cryptic or/and can't be beaten. Actually, there's no goal except of seeing everything you can achieve. In one level, you're trapped in a room. After removing walls you can see tons of labirynts all over around you. Coda was expressing his anxiety and shyness. Game with nice and warm house cleaning made you feel comfortable, soon it was starting to get irritiating after doing the same thing all over and over again, preventing from making it house all simple and clean. Just like your live. It cannot be perfect as you struggle with problems and people. The game with the island represented Coda's forced decisions, because he felt it was socially right to lie and be an actor in his own life. He has shown that he is very cryptic, hidden in himself. This game overall is about one person's growing anxiety and hate towards others. He felt that he was forced to do something, to be socialised, because other way he would be left.. Alone. The one way doors represent the time going forward, not being avaiable to change the past. Like you write a book, you cannot simply remove the text that was in the middle of the written book. You would have to force it, making it unnatural for that person's mind. Desperation, depresion, anxiety, loneliness, need to be loved by someone who would understand him. By only playing this game, i understand that Coda is best described by those words. He just felt fullfilled when he was making games, he had someone to show the game, he had a reason to do the games. Not popular reason to make money or fame, but it was his way to describe his own mind. He isn't easy person to come around. Surely, he isn't. He felt his decisions were forced and he couldn't describe himself in the outer world. The world wanted to change him, but he didn't let it happen. It's sad and good. I hope Coda got someone who would be with him and percieve the world just as he does.

Also the game overall is nicely done. The narration is very emotional and it makes you feel like you were listening to a live person, not a recording. The music is also great.

I am also a little game dev or maybe a passionate programmer. I didn't release anything big or special, but my mind isn't as open inside as Coda's. I hope people will understand the game and it will help them understand them.

For TL;DR guys:
It is fascinating and cryptic and it is not a simple game, but an interactive book.

Having just completed Undertale--a thoughtful, emotional game that touched me deeply--when I read that The Beginner's Guide was a thoughtful, emotional game that touched people deeply, I made the mistake of assuming that it would be of a similar vein: that it would cause me to stop and think, to change or at least influence the way I thought about certain things, to give me new ways to relate to the world.

The Beginner's Guide did not do this.

To be clear, the price point of the game doesn't bother me, nor does the fact that it's essentially an hour-and-a-half narrative with minimal interaction. Putting together a project like this isn't free: it takes time and effort and talent and I have no particular animus about paying the price of a Big Mac Value Meal for something like this. And minimal interactivity that stretches the definition of the word "game" doesn't bother me, so long as I feel like I've gotten something important out of the exchange.

The Beginner's Guide is a guided tour through the collected works of an independent game developer, Coda, narrated by one of his friends. The narrator, Davey Wreden, discusses at length his relationship with the developer and the games, and talks about how he wrestled with the meaning and significance of each of them individually and as part of a greater whole. He tries to make sense of Coda's mental state, his motivation for creating, and how his works relate to himself and the world at large. These ruminations make up the bulk of the material. This in itself is not bad, per se, but the reason that I cannot recommend this game is because the ruminations come with no payoff: it's a shaggy dog story with no conclusion and precious little food for thought.

The only emotion that this game made me feel was mild anger and annoyance: by the end, it becomes clear that we are not listening to a story about how someone's games reveal the depth of their humanity, but instead a story about a passive-aggressive, petty, cruel, self-centered game developer and his emotionally fragile, self-loathing friend--though judging from the way that Coda treats Davey, "friend" is perhaps a debatable term. This game contains no heartening insights, offers no "a-ha" moment, does not leave one with hope for the future. It is two troubled people's dirty laundry aired in public, as emotionally deep as a pothole. I came away feeling contempt for Coda and embarrassment for Davey.

Technically, there is nothing the matter with the game: the price is fine, it runs flawlessly, looks fine, sounds fine. The script is fine, the pacing is fine. But the story, such as it tells, instead of serving to uplift the human spirit, drags it through the mud and leaves one feeling unclean. Rather than embrace our shared humanity, all I wanted to do in the end was avert my eyes from the embarrassing spectacle.

Игра о том, насколько порой могут быть поехавшими разработчики игр

Я не говорю за всех, но разработчик именно этой игры вполне адекватен. Но он рассказывает в виде экскурсии по творчеству другого разработчика, с которым автору пришлось столкнуться.

Итак, это по сути симулятор ходьбы с экскурсоводом по различным игровым картам. Также автор известен тем, что ранее делал Steanley's Parable. Так что тут будут такие неожиданные моменты. Хотя подтормаживания на Source разработчику победить не удалось.

В общем, довольно своеобразный эксперимент, где собственно игры особо нет. Как правильно сказал разработчик, что Source больше всего подходит для создания корридоров. Именно поэтому на таком движке выходит так много симуляторов ходьбы.

Так что если хотите приобрести этот экскурс по движку, то лучше дождаться скидки. Тут какого-то особого игрового процесса нет. Зато субтитры на русском. Но карточек нет, нет достижений и облачного сохранения...

Но игру порекомендую тем, кто вообще хочет понять сумасбродство в головах многих создателей игровых карт. То есть многие тараканы могут воплотиться в виртуальной среде. Некоторые любят экспериментировать над этим в области троллинга. И я этого не разделяю. Издеваться над игроком не надо, даже в виде игры. Так что либо развивайте либо расслабляйте. Но без фанатизма...

Чувствуете, какие масштабы открываются, если дать волю фантазии. Таким образом можно построить целые виртуальные обучения. Но к сожалению, такие последовательные игры редкость. И этой экскурсии стоит дать шанс, чтобы пофантазировать, допустим, в антураже игровых карт на движке Unreal. Кстати, я помню некий анонс игры по Титанику либо это была просто любительская карта на движке... Но такие игры, основанные на реальности и при этом помещающие игроков в такие реалистичные модели, пользовались бы спросом.

В этой же игре типичный сорс не в лучшем своём виде. Поэтому не всегда можно получить удовольствие от картинки.

Он словно назойливый ребёнок, увидевший вытесанную мной фигурку, схвативший её из моих рук и побежавший показывать миру. Нахваливал её и меня. Как будто пытался согреться в лучах славы которой я не хотел, о которой я его не просил. Неужели ему так важно мнение других, их одобрение, одобрение меня, моё мнение в конце концов. Всё что я делал, я делал для себя, но в какой-то момент, я поймал себя на мысли, что делаю это для него. Всё изменилось, я словно под пристальным наблюдением, он вечно где-то рядом, наблюдает и задаёт свои вопросы. Бесконечные вопросы! Можно подумать я могу дать на них ответы. Не надо всюду искать скрытый смысл, его порой вовсе нет. Не надо делать лишних выводов. Ты хочешь мне помочь? А нужна ли мне твоя помощь? Может это тебе нужна помощь, а не мне. Я даже начал оставлять ему намёки тут и там, а до него никак не доходило. Какой же он твердолобый, я не хотел до этого доводить, уш так я воспитан. Но придётся сказать ему всё на прямую.

I thought I'd dislike the game. No, really - when it unexpectedly popped up and I checked some of it, I decided to avoid it. I thought that it's not for me, that it talks about stuff I experienced and realised long ago, that it would be like reading your teenage diary, where you realise something and it's awkward to check today because so much stuff passed.

And then Davey contacted me again to translate some more bits of Stanley into Russian for the awesome boxed release that he's doing (I translated the game and mod into Russian) and as a thank you gave me the Steam key to The Beginner's Guide. I felt like - now I have to play it.

My opinion changed a lot during playing. There were sections that, I feel, could've been shorter or cut. And it does go from really nice and clever pseudo-documentary-like structure to being more of an observation on how not just games are made, and how people making games work, but how a person creates something and how that creative (any person who creates anything) person works. The presumptions. Understanding or lack thereof. About things that sometimes seem contradictory but can coexist in one person. About searching meanings and giving meanings. But it sometimes does it... I dunno. Not very well, as much as it does well at other times.

So I went from trying to be as neutral to it, to finding myself actually liking it, to then feeling the "get on with it" vibes. To then kind of liking it again. To then feeling like... yeah, that... I guess that was nice?

There's something about this that is good, surprisingly good, given how simple things it talks about are. Things that are probably not going to be anything new to you. Just because it talks about them in an entertaining way. And there are bits of it that feel unnecessary, overthought, not very good.

So, The Beginner's Guide is nice. It's not a witty exciting game like Stanley. It's not a life changing experience. It's just... an hour and a half well spent.

To get the primary comparison out of the way, while this game and The Stanley Parable are similar in construction, they differ wildly in their narrative and delivery. While The Stanley Parable was pointedly nonlinear in design, and concepts were often presented humorously, The Beginner's Guide is a very linear game, and while there are some lines that got a chuckle or two out of me, the overall tone of the game is fairly serious. It is also pertinent to mention that, in terms of content, The Beginner's Guide feels distinctly shorter than The Stanley Parable.

The Beginner's Guide is one of my favorite games, if only because of how much it has occupied my headspace since I first played it. I find myself coming back to this game every couple of months and replaying it, and I always seem to find a new perspective or angle that I hadn't previously considered.
To put it simply, this game has a deep, complex narrative, and is a bit of a meta-textual mess. (which is something I find extremely interesting)


I will freely admit however that this game probably isn't for everyone. If you aren't a fan of artsy walking simulator games, then it is likely that this game will not appeal to you.

I got this game for free, but if I could, I would want a refund. If not for money, then time. Not to mention that it's not worth the price, unless you really enjoy a game that lasts for about an hour and a half, depending on the way you ''play'' it and by that I mean, aimlessly roam around while listening to a quite pathetic story and someone's personal issues, because there really is nothing else to do. What in the beginning seemed like a promotion, turned into a whole story about a person with mental issues, quite selfish too, and then into a big, unnecessary apology that the person did not deserve (in my opinion). It made me feel involved into someone's private life that I didn't want to be a part of.

This cut deeper than a stake to the heart, and then some. This is nothing like The Stanley Parable, but it bears the well-crafted writing and voice-acting from TSP, and that was more than enough for me.

No game has made me feel this distressed while playing it. A feeling of constant unease followed me as I continued playing, and I really related to its storytelling, even if it is fictional. When the first words by Coda appears, it all came crashing down and I started crying. I will need to replay it to look at from the lens that I now understand as the truth behind the game, but until then, I need a break.

I saw so much of myself in this game that it shocked me. I can't guarantee this game will affect you as much as it affected me, but it's well worth a shot. Because this is one of the most strange, unique, and thought-provoking games I have ever played, and even if you don't relate to it as much as I did, it should still be quite an experience and will definitely make you think.

It's not every day that I have a work of art move me as much as this experience just did. In my personal opinion The Beginners Guide is an absolute masterpiece. It's a game that will stick in my mind and keep sucking me back to thinking about it time and time again.

First off, the story is fantastic. What makes the game so powerful is the fact that the narrative touches on so many emotionally powerful topics that get woven into a grander theme of depression. This game doesn't shy away from offering emotional introspection and even goes into ideas like loneliness, self destructive tendencies, and even projecting one's emotions onto other people. In a way, I think it even touches on what it is like to suffer from "hyper empathy". It's a crazy feel trip that hits all the right buttons to get you thinking about some pretty heavy stuff.

But what's more is the fact is the entire experience is just so lovingly intertwined with the narrative. There's many points where the game's simple mechanics just seem to connect with the emotions of the story and allow me to feel connected to the experience in a much more profound way. At times I could feel the frustration being conveyed through the story in the game through the mechanics, while other times the mechanics mirrored feelings of peace or relief. The game uses this act of mirroring the narrative with gameplay and sprinkles in some exceptional audio design to build an intense atmosphere that can honestly even be described as overwhelming at times. It almost seems as if the creators went out of their way to use the concept of "kinesthetic projection" to draw me further into the game.

In the end, I can't recommend this game enough. Something as outright breathtaking as The Beginner's Guide needs to be supported with as much love as the gaming community is able to give. I love this thing so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much and I'm not going to forget it for a LONG time.

This 'game' isn't a game.
It's an expirience, and an amazing one at that.

You journey into a stranger's mind to find out who the are, and what you find is disturbing, extremely depressing and straight-up...lonely.

I walked into this 'game' purely because it's by the makers of the stanley parable, with absolutely no idea what it was about. I cried twice.

I highly recommend this 'game' to anyone. It doesn't matter who you are, but you need to 'play' this game. Don't look at any lets plays, don't look at any reviews that might contain spoilers. I myself have not actually completed it yet, but for the few hours i've played I can tell you that this 'game' is unlike anything i've ever seen. If you want to know more,
Just play it.

Just play it.

Те, кто ждет от игры нечто похожего на The Stanley Parable, могут быть разочарованы - игра не такая. Вообще говоря, это не совсем игра - это очередной простенький симулятор ходьбы. Единственное, что отличает его от других таких же игр, которых последнее время развелось многова-то, это сюжет.

Это история двух людей и их непростых взаимоотношений. Рассказывать о них нет смысла, нужно самому слушать и вникать. История интересная и сложная, некоторые найдут знакомые моменты и ситуации, кто-то возможно в какой-то момент узнает себя в одном из героев. В общем, понравится ли вам история я не знаю, но она очень интересная.

Рекомендую попробовать эту игру, но не ручаюсь, что она вам понравится.

The Beginner's Guide - эталон симуляторов ходьбы! Здесь прекрасно всё: прекрасная история, прекрасная подача без провисаний и прекрасное разрешение всех сюжетных линий. Остальным надо ещё поучиться так работать с нарративом! ;)

Игра не пытается сразить визуалом, поскольку сделана на Source Engine, она открыто признает этот факт и даже делает особой фишкой повествования. Она сразу делает упор на сюжет и с первых же секунд нас цепляют несколькими крючками и не отпускают до самого конца, по пути добавляя ещё и ещё! История развивается, не ослабляя темпа, увлекая игрока в свой странный мир, а в конце вознаграждает необычным финалом.

Очень любопытный проект, однозначно заслуживает своего высоко рейтинга!

It hurts, it makes me cry, and I want to hide even more from the world. Because of this it is a good game. It reflects, it causing one to feel, and any game that allows you to feel from playing it, (Not just because it's poorly made but because it's that good.) should be played. This game hurts, or is it that it reflects.

This is one of those games that are all about experience and your own reflections. Gameplay does not really matter. There are no impactfull choices like in "Stanley's Parable", so if you're expecting something like that, you may feel disappointed. Yes, this game is short. Yes, there's not much "to do" once you're playing it. But for me it was an amazing experience. It was something that I can relate to on so many levels that it almost scares me. I related to this game as an creator, as an author, as fan of someone else's work, as a friend, as reviewer and the most importantly, as a human being. I was wondering what people think about me when they read my work. How they try to "catch" the glimpse of an author between the lines. I was wondering how many people around me have that... specific impact on my and on my work. And what kind of impact I had on others. Was it good? What about my own sickness?

I love games. Even more, I love games with the good story, so I've played plenty that I could relate to, but there are only few that actually made me think about my passions, my choices, my creation and helped my see things differently, helped me reevaluate things. This is one of those games and it makes it worth every money.

到了游戏的末尾我再也无法保持自己中立,我丧失了评判的理智,变换了角度,我觉得游戏是我做的,我是Koda,我在表达。

或许给这款游戏写评测是完完全全不应该的,没有了中立就谈不上评价,更何况这个游戏不算烂作,却也谈不上推荐。但是结束了游戏我觉得我必须必须说些什么。

这是我有过最痛苦的游戏经历,游戏的后半段是我在游戏中经历最长的半小时。

The Beginner‘s Guide würde ich jedem empfehlen, der auch de Stanley Parabel auf seine verstörende künstlerische Art interessant fand. Es ist kein typisches Spiel mit einem Ziel und einem Ergebnis, sondern mehr ein spiel, dass man sich wie ein Buch durchliest. Man denkt auch noch nach dem Spiel immer wieder über die Story und das was dahinter steht nach.

Stručné hodnocení
☑ Doporučuji
☐ Titul mě neoslovil
☐ V současném stavu nemohu doporučit

Šplechty
Nacházím se zjevně ve velmi zvláštním období svého života, neboť jsem schopen s čistým svědomím přitakat otázce "Doporučili byste tuto hru?" a přitom kompletně ignorovat, že se o žádnou hru v pravém slova smyslu nejedná. Již při průchodu The Stanley Parable jsem cítil, že se pohybuji na prazvláštním pomezí walking simulátoru a dech beroucího audio-vizuálního zážitku, jenž jednoho vtahuje a nutí k myšlení (... srov. s Der Gedanc*), ovšem tento titul již abdikuje na hratelnost natolik, že jej do první jmenované kategorie prostě zařadit nejde ... a přesto říkám "Ano.".

First of all, this is not a game. This is an experience, or an interactive film. This 'review' is going to be short because The Beginner's Guide is something you absolutely need to go in blind to. That's what I did. It is a shortish, personal story that creates emotions. That's all I'm going to give away. Just experience it. I understand that something like this isn't for everyone, like most things. But I encourage you to give it a shot. It's really cheap and picking it up from a sale makes it even cheaper. It won't hurt you to see if you're the kind of person who can enjoy these different kinds of experiences. Just remember: Go in as blind as possible. Don't look up anything about The Beginner's Guide, don't watch videos about it, the less you see, the better. Obviously, you're reading these reviews and I do hope that most people who write these understood this and didn't spoil anything.
That's all I can really say. Just give The Beginner's Guide a shot and see if you like its style. You can always get a refund.

"The Beginner's Guide is a narrative video game for Mac and PC. It lasts about an hour and a half and has no traditional mechanics, no goals or objectives. Instead, it tells the story of a person struggling to deal with something they do not understand."

This is a description of the game on official website. Make sure that you want to spend 8$ playing only 1.3hours! also, make sure that you are ready to face a real time gamebased daram-movie. And the last thing.. Make sure you are reade to feel depressed after finishing this game. You will be depressed and you will think about the life for about the rest of the day.

Are you ready?

Ok, let's do it!

Let's find out if you right...

To je zase a opět jako psát recenzi na Stanley Parable.
Až na to, že tohle vůbec není Stanley Parable!

Pohled 1:

Je to prostě série jevů a myšlenek a zásahů do vašeho vědomí a nutí vás to přemýšlet o co sakra jde?!?!?
Minimalistická grafika jen podporuje celkový dojem a v několika momentech si začnete pochybovat o co teda jde a pak začnete vše vnímat jinak a já prostě nevím jak o tomhle psát, aniž bych neprozradil o co jde.

Je to od tvůrce Stanley Parable, je to naprosto jiné, než co jste doposud hráli, tak si to prostě zahrajte ať už to, co vás v tomhle čeká, je cokoliv.
A pokud se vám zdá ta cena za to moc velká, tak počkejte na 33% akci. Takovýto zážitek jste ze hry ještě neměli. A párkrát mi bylo opravdu prostě divně z toho... nevim, co tu ještě pořád čtete?!? Jděte si to zahrát a nebo si děte raději dál střílet radostně do CoDka nebo jiné bláznoviny.

Pohled 2:

Po další půlhodince od dohrání v hlavě projel další myšlenkový vlak a tak nějak jsem se našel...
Vytvořit v životě něco vlastního dá práci a zatímco se většina recenzí shoduje na tom, že mít takového svého Daveyho je dobrá věc, já osobně bych bral raději Toho druhého. Aby mi dal více času přemýšlet... Ale potom co si to promyslí tenhle týpek, zase najít Daveyho a dotáhnout to do konce....
Neposlouchejte mě, jen tak plácám hovadiny...

Incredible.

The Beginner's Guide is quite difficult to explain. But, the plot, the narration, the way it was told, is absolutely amazing. It's a rather serious game, so if you're looking for something similar to "The Stanley Parable", (Another game this creator has published) you probably won't find what you're looking for.

As it is a very emotionally driven game, it was the first game in a while to actually make me shed a few tears. Even after a few months after finishing it, it still has been in the back of my mind. It's surprising relatability and sincerity has left me to ponder on it for a while now. I suggest going into it blind, without any knowledge prior of it. It takes around a hour to a hour and a half to finish, but it's worth every second. This is definitely a favorite of mine.

I feel like I looked at something private, something that maybe wasn't for my eye's to see, almost like I read someone's diary. I liked this and it is awesome but it's also terrifying and judgmental. If you want to see what I mean then buy and play this game. I'm not going to recommend this or tell you not to play it..... do what makes you happy.

As I can see many of the other reviews also emphasize; do not read about the game, just play it.

The story is unique, emotional and strong, and it is therefore impossible to write a proper review or feedback of the game without spoiling. All I can say without spoiling is that the message in the game is so strong that it will give you a new perspective on game development and a lot of things to speculate.

See for yourself and play the game!

看了遍实况又想起自己很早以前玩的这个游戏,相当抽象,也可以从各种角度解读。
综合了我的考量和见解,对游戏的理解涉嫌剧透↓
davey和coda的故事,玩到最后会发现反转。据davey所述,两人本来是合作无间的好友,分享游戏经验和思想,davey通过coda分享给他的游戏作品探究发掘coda的社交态度、性格倾向和生活方式。实际上,所有这一切开始都是被davey的“控制欲”所打破,他的过度干涉催生了这款游戏Beginner's Guide,同时也惹恼了coda。coda制作的“监狱游戏”也好,“剧院游戏”也好,都似乎是为了个人爱好或兴趣使然,把这些分享给了davey,然而davey却对她的游戏作过分解读,随意篡改,并将这些内容展示于公众面前,就因为coda一段时期的创作低谷,他就凭借自己臆想过的、修改过的游戏内容断章取义式地告诉人们coda有抑郁倾向和社交恐惧,反复称自己搞不懂她在想什么。在我看来,有抑郁倾向和社交恐惧的是davey而已,他把他的想法强加于coda的作品之上,缠着coda的作品和生活不放,坚持主观的过分解读和猜测,不尊重coda的作品隐私和个人空间,到头来还自以为是理解coda的艰难处境,一副想要帮助她却不知如何下手的样子,殊不知让coda心生厌恶,对davey关上了游戏作品沟通交流的大门。游戏的最后davey表以歉意和茫然的态度,可以看到后记中封闭、抑郁的感情全是davey一个人的表现,就像我们所说的“我有一个朋友……”的感觉,很可悲。

I felt like I was encroaching on someone's privacy. This is a very stressful game, its not fun, it doesnt make you happy. It makes you think about yourself. Games usually just try to get you invested in their world, to be a part of it and see the story they have to tell. This game is very much about introspection under the guise of trying to figure out what someone else is thinking. It felt a bit too familiar, but I guess that was the point.

实不相瞒我玩儿哭了。

极其超前的设计理念,创新而大胆的表达方式,舒缓而波折的故事。

整个作品更像是一篇散文,我愿称其为游戏的后现代主义。实际上相比于其他被玩家尊为“第九艺术”的作品,我觉得新手指南更加具有古典艺术的风骨,更加的具有一种形而上的美感。

如果你相信游戏可以作为一种艺术形式,能传达比现在所表现出的更多的东西,不妨试试这个作品。也希望有一天电子游戏可以不再仅仅作为一个产业,而是作为一种表达思想、富含美感、承载优秀文化的艺术形式。

最后谢谢Davey Wreden,谢谢你带来这样的作品。

Now that "walking simulator" are common, we have to stop considering them as something new and original and try to review them as some kind of visual novels.

So, let alone anything else, is the story good?

I strongly recommend you complete this in one sitting. It is only 90 minutes.

As I write this having just finished, I am shaken. I thought the reviews from people saying they cried were over exaggerated at first, but I was wrong. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster that is simply impossible to convey with words. People cry at movies, that is a relatively easy thing to do. But beyond making you sad, this somehow manages to poke at some of your deepest and darkest fears which you never knew existed, and causes a lasting self reflection. I never thought it could be done in any form of entertainment.

I'm not really sure what else to say other than it is truly profound and completely worth purchasing. I hope it makes as much of an impact on you as it did on me.

After having some time to think about it, I'm kinda bummed on this "game". It wasn't a bad experience, it just wasn't fun. I feel like I just watched someone go through therapy, and while it was engaging I don't feel like I should have paid money for it. This was Wredens anxiety about The Stanley Parable's popularity made into game form...at least thats what I made of it. It was so personal I almost felt intrusive, but then I reminded myself that Wreden was the one that put his psyche on display for the world to see for 10 bucks, and looking at it that way kind of made me mad. I'm a bit put off by the fact that this guy thought his dilemma was so special that I would pay money to experience it. Had I known thats all this "game" was I wouldn't have bothered. He could have at least had the decency to make a game around his very self-centered theme, instead of just making a (kind of boring) walking tour.

I think the thing that bugged me the most early on (and pretty much put this "game" in the "psuedo-intellectual hipster BS" category) is the way Wreden keeps referring to his (or Coda's, whatev) creations as "games", and rambling on about what makes them so special. Art may be subjective, but games are not. There are a few rules as to what makes a game, and The Beginner's Guide had none of them. There was no way to fail or succeed, you just went along for the ride...in fact it kind of reminded me of a dark ride. It honestly would have been no different as a non-interactive movie.

Also, and this is just me personally, but the heavy-handed "moral of the story" was not very revelatory to me. I could even identify with it, having been on both ends of the dilemma, but it wasn't something worth making a whole "game" about.

Its an interesting experience but I wouldn't call it a game...or pay money for it.

"I first met Davey Wreden at a writing workshop in college. He seemed like a cool guy, and he wanted to be my friend. He kept bugging me to let him read the novel I was working on, so I did. A month or two later I found out he showed it to all his friends without my permission. I even found out he altered my novel to include some stupid painting. I told him to never talk to me again, and I vowed to never finish the novel. Six months later I found out this scumbag published my novel in an atempt to "apologize" to me for showing everyone my novel. What the f**k?"
~Oscar Wilde, author of Dorian Gray's Day Off (original title).

The Story:
You tell me Davey, because I can't figure it out. If the Beginner's Guide is to be taken literally then all I have for you is one question: What were you thinking, Davey? If the Beginner's Guide is some metaphor that's open to interpretation then all I have for you is one question: What were you thinking, Davey?

If It's Non-fiction:
You're a thief, Davey. Plain and simple. I don't know what to say without spoiling this mess, so I'll just say that the guy asked you not to do the thing, and you did the thing. You even made money off of it. Bonus points for being so blinded by your narcissism and false modesty that you actually believe you're doing the right thing by releaseing the Beginner's Guide. It should've been called the Beginner's Guide to Intellectual Property Theft.

If It's Fiction:
You're a pretentious narcissist full of false modesty, Davey. You're like Charlie Kaufman, if Charlie Kaufman were a pretentious narcissist full of false modesty. The message conveyed by this game would be very beautiful had you not chosen to bury it so deep in your own ego, and then shove it up your own rectum.

In Conclusion:
The message behind the Beginner's Guide, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, is a beautiful one. It's a shame that Davey Wreden had to go and Davey it up so much.

He Either:

A: Made this game as an apology, but in the process once again committed the act he was apologizing for. He then went and charged money for it, because why not? And now his apology is out there in the open for the world to see where he apologizes for his actions and now he's a great guy and everyone can see it because he sold the apology for money. You have to at least give him credit for trying though.

B: Ruined a beautiful, but ambiguous message about interpersonal relationships and the Death of the Author effect by being pretentious and meta.

It's interesting, I won't lie, but to charge money for this has to be some kind of joke. We've either purchased stolen work, or an interesting essay wrapped in egotistical ramblings. Either way I can't recommend it.

One of my favorite games. It delves into the psyche of a man named "Coda" who makes games. You play through Coda's games one by one.

Pros:

A different type of story telling I've never seen in a game. Stanley Parable is similar but played for humor and laughs. This game is serious and involves a great deal of self reflection.

♥♥♥♥:

Short, under two hours

Definitely a worthwile experience. Somewhat disturbing though. From time to time you just have to stop and process what you've just heard. Ask yourself if you can relate to this. It's not as much of a game as of a psychological experience.

The Beginner's Guide is a game, but not a game. A game where you wonder around and lessen to the narration. A game where at first, you think it's meaningless. Nothing but wondering around and hearing a story, and in a way it is. But the in the meaninglessness, a story unfolds. A story that is much deeper than you see on the at first glance. A story that will touch you. A story that will tell about someone very close to the developer. A story with meaning that out shines the meaninglessness. I payed 9.99 for this game, the worth is priceless. 10/10 game. Buy this right now, do not hesitate.

I did not expect a game like this to come from the creator of such a comedic and satirical game. This game is different than anything I have played. It tells the story of... just a person really. I can't say much more than that without spoiling the game and all it has to offer. Just play it and let the feels roll.

Libre d'interpretation, un peu comme un ami renfermé sur lui même, rempli de problème et vous qui essayez de comprendre avec votre vision quel est le soucis.

Nous avons ici droit à un personnage de fiction "Coda" qui est au fait selon moi Davey Wreden lui même, et narrant avec intimité une histoire personelle d'une très belle manière et de façon très ouverte, impossible d'avoir la réponse exact sur ce qui ce passe, l'experience utilise le moteur source et tout les bouts de petit jeu avec brio pour permettre de rester ouvert et laisser chaque personne ce faire sa propre idée sur ce qui est raconté.

Un conseil, n'allez pas sur internet avant d'avoir jouer au "jeu" pour voir les théroies, de même, après avoir fini, prennez bien le temps de vous forger VOTRE propre opinion, votre prorpe interpretation avant d'aller voir celle des autres, histoire de ne pas fausser votre jugement.

Très frustrant de ne pas pouvoir VRAIMENT savoir ce qui ce passe dans la tête de Davey Wreden, mais je comprend son désirs de vouloir laisser planer le mystère, dans tout les cas, ce jeu est un peu comme sa séance de psychiatre, le psy étant le moteur source lui permettant d'exprimer tout ce qu'il a en lui.

Au final ce jeu c'est un peu comme trouver le journal intime de quelqu'un et de lire un chapitre de sa vie, sans avoir jamais vu la personne, et donc n'avoir aucun moyen pour ce faire idée de ce qui ce passe que d'utiliser son imagination, et le jeu vous prouve avec brio que votre imagination n'est pas universelle, que personne ne pense à la même chose et que donc les jugements faussés (la fin avec les inscriptions dans le dernier jeu de "coda" qui veux totu dire) peuvent être légion.

Bref, ce jeu pourrait ouvrir des débats philosophique durant des mois de toute façon.

Certains pourront dire que cette création donne dans un certain sens une légére impression de prétention de la part de Davey, mais impossible de ne pas avouer que c'est définitivement quelqu'un de très créatif et intelligent.

Прошел The Beginner's Guide и это... Потрясающе, игра произвела большое впечатление и, черт возьми я рад, что купил её! Она заставляет задуматься над собой, так умиротворяет. Эти 104 минуты пролетели незаметно. Автор The Stanley Parable снова затянул меня в свою игру, снова смог меня впечатлить. Советую поиграть и ощутить это самим.

This does absolutely nothing for me. It could. It just doesn't.

But it will probably do something for you. It most probably will make you think. You will most probably make all the pretentious little conclusions that you will start working towards as soon as you see the first level. You will revel in the idea that you Understood The Art. You probably won't.

10/10 would waste time and money again.

Стал бы я рекомендовать эту игру? Скорее нет.
Если The Stanley Parable - прекрасный вариативный постмодернистский моноспектакль, то The Beginner's Guide - мелонхоличная история незнакомца из бара.
Некоторых авторов обзоров этот монолог "заставляет задуматься", как пишут в комментариях к фильмам. Меня не заставил. Просто я циничен и закостенел.
Но сам метод повествования интересен, хоть и похож на выполненную в жанре "студенческий артхаус" дипломную работу выпускника художественного ВУЗа. В этом плане игры от Tale of Tales (не путать с Telltales) выглядят куда привлекательнее и глубже.
С другой стороны - 200 рублей за эту игру не жалко, это были занятные полтора часа.
Если вам интересны "игры как высказывание" - попробуйте, может на распродаже в 80%, но попробуйте.
Их выходит очень немного.

Please go into this game blind. Also, complete it in one sitting. It is only about 90 minutes. I also recommend waiting for a sale to play this game ($9.99 is quite a bit for what you get). Just take my word for it, please play this game.

8/10 walking simulator experience with wonderful storytelling

Not really sure how to rate this one, as it's so different to anything else out there, perhaps I was expecting more from what I had seen of the gaming journo's reviews, and that led me to feeling a little bit underwhelmed by the end of it. I bought this on the basis that I really enjoyed The Stanley Parable, and saw a number of positive reviews.

It takes about an hour and a half to complete, and there isn't so much a game to play, but more a message to listen to, and it is in that whether you will enjoy it or take something away from it. I would assume if you were more interested in human psychology, that it would prove to be a more interesting and worthwhile experience, but to give some balance to the review system I have to vote negatively as it didn't do it for me.

I guess it made me realise that the bits I most enjoyed about The Stanley Parable were the puzzles and the humour, which this lacks, although it's worth pointing out that this game was neither intended to be humorous or a puzzle game.

Jim Sterling is right about this game. The more you know about it before you play, the less you'll get from it. Yes, it is short, you'll finish in an hour and a half. It has no achievements or trading cards. The challenge in this game is not strategic or dextrous, but intellectual, and the more you invest yourself in proceedings the more you will get out of it. It has the potential to change a person for the better more than any game I've ever played, and it's an experience you'll never forget.

Frankly, I would never otherwise recommend a game as short as this for this price, but this one is worth it. Think of it like a movie, but with a story that can only be told through an interactive medium. I hate the term 'walking simulator' because it is derogatory and dismissive, but if that is what the genre is to be called, this is the best walking simulator of them all.

The Beginner's Guide is a narrated walking simulator made by the same guys that worked on the very well written Stanley Parable. Now, if you expect something similar in The Beginner's Guide, you will end up disappointed. This game is certainly not for everyone although I would say the writing alone makes it worth it.

pros
+ writing
+ interesting to experience
+ playing a game from a developer's point of view
+ interesting concepts

♥♥♥♥
- duration
- somewhat vague story
- not for everybody

Verdict
I'd recommend buying and playing Stanley Parable first since it's clearly the better game. If you want to develop a game or if you are interested in video game developing concepts or if you just like a well written dialogue, this game might be for you.

Genre: narrated walking simulator
Replay value: low
Rating: 7/10
Recommendation: It depends
Special endorsement: No

I wasted 1.5 hours of my life on this game.

Like The Stanley's Parable, this "game" is a narrative. It is designed to make you think about yourself and, for lack of a better phrase, the human condition. What made the Stanley's Parable great was a combination of factors. First off, a great narrator and dialogue. It kept you interested in the game, and the humor he offered kept you engaged during those long, empty hallways you went through. It made you forget about the boring parts of the game like that. Secondly, the options. When you chose a path, you chose it, and when you would ultimately learn what that told you about yourself, it made sense, because YOU chose it.

Now to this mess. It is completely linear. Not inherently a bad thing. You follow the narrative of the creator, also the narrator, a very uninteresting man (I think the goal was for it to be more relatable that way), through his friend's games. The problem is, with all of this, through the 90 minutes you play it, you play through EXTREMELY uninteresting landscapes, with nothing but the narrator's boring, dreary voice the whole time. The whole game I was just thinking, "Okay I'll make it through this part THEN it will be interesting." It never did.

I made it to the end of the game. But WAIT! It could be worth it if the message is just strong enough! It could tie it all together! No. Literally, (without spoiling anything), it does not share a message, but rather just tells you everything you saw in the game was wrong just for the sake of putting a spin, and then it's over. Nothing learned. Nothing gained. I just played through the game for a twist at the end so I can say, "MAN I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING BECAUSE IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNINTERESTING AND CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO MY LIFE."

In the end, the message I took from the game was "Don't judge a book by it's cover. Or it's contents. It's all wrong. Ask the author what it really means." Obviously someone's work would convey something about them or the meaning, but this tells you to do the opposite and just, not think.

I'm really disapointed in this game. I really wanted it to be great. But it wasn't.

This is a difficult game to write about, but a few hours after playing it, I was left with several thoughts and feelings still floating around about what I’ve experienced. There’s a lot to process and possibly more than I think I’ll be able to get to here. I’ll be interested in replaying it and seeing where things stand from there, but for now this is what I’ve taken away from the game.

I heard good things about The Beginner’s Guide but not any details about what it was. At first I assumed it was a video game about being a rogue leftover part of a game in the middle of being made (The Magic Circle, I think) so as it turned out I knew even less than I thought about the game. It’s by Davey Wreden who made The Stanley Parable, a fantastic game which my brother introduced me to the demo of by insisting it was entirely different to the game itself. It was and the game is something fantastic to experience. This is a little along those lines as far as using the mechanics of a video game to tell a story.

The game stars one speaking character; Davey Wreden. He narrates the games which make up The Beginner’s Guide, acting as a kind of documentary of the works of a person called Coda. Coda’s a character whose personality and backstory is only provided by the commentary of Davey and the designs you walk through. I guess in a way you are the third character as the audience member walking through Coda’s world, curated by Davey.

To start off with, you’re wandering a Counter Strike map designed by Coda and right away there are things wrong with it, only visible once you start moving within the world. I knew a few people who tinkered with CS back in the day and it places this designer firmly in the era of people modding games that I know of. The errors look like they could be due to a first-timer learning what they’re doing but Davey tells us of recurring themes in the work of Coda. There are floating boxes, strange cubes and dead ends. It’s alienating and within or without the fiction it’s entirely on purpose to set the tone. We are not a person in the world, we’re a witness to a game being designed.

Once you have had a bit of a search and heard what Davey has to say, we skip ahead in time to the next project of Coda’s. It’s a space game with a non-working gun and an actual maze. Again, it’s something an amateur or an artist may have made and Davey has his own insights. The look of the levels are oddly charming in the same way that I find using the old graphics as to see how the original looked back in the day. There’s a moment where you die and Davey talks about Coda’s intent simply be that you die, only he experienced a bug which he replicates. You’re elevated into the air and can see the maze, the ship, all without a ceiling and the edges of the game world. There are sharp corners on the background and space itself is just a box you’re in. This is important, this change of perspective.

The narrative of The Beginner’s Guide is presented through the game’s mechanics, but on several levels. One of the next games is one where you play a character who can only move backwards through a level. This section is something which I could imagine standing on its own easily enough and has messages unique to the game as well as to the greater narrative. It reminded me a little of Passage which was a game asking whether you want freedom with loneliness or companionship with restriction. There was no right answer in that game. This one the restriction’s a little more linear and you switch between the ability to see what’s ahead or the ability to move without seeing to navigate. Again, this is important. All of it is. There are puzzles, but not many, this is more of a journey than anything else, but a ‘walking game’ which uses the minimal mechanics of the game to its’ advantage. In games like Dear Esther, you would be in awe of a heavily detailed world but at a loss of what exactly to do between chunks of narration. Here, the worlds are small and bite-sized, the worlds can be as small as a single room or massive and awe-inspiring.

Davey talks of the grander designs being experimented with and the meaning behind it all, as well as his experiences with Coda in real life. His interpretation of things like the series of small prison games, the domesticity of one game. There are recurring styles presented and some aspects evolve which reflects Coda’s growth as a person. His voice is only really experienced by little floating circles in one level and the dialogue options in a handful of games. Otherwise we’ve got the mechanics and Davey’s accounts as all you have to go on.

It’s fascinating to see and for ninety minutes as a documentary, fake or otherwise, it makes for a great use of the medium. The games themselves are fairly small and definite works in progress, but there’s something which has inspired the narrator and hearing his analysis of it helps drive us through. And this is where we get to the spoilers.

I don't know how this community is with spoilers, so I'm going to link to my site where the rest of the information is. There are a couple of flips in the narrative where it made me think deeply about one thing, then turned it round and made it all new again, all in a really short game. It's impressive and sticks with you. As I said, this all goes to spoilers. I hope you don't mind being shielded from them by me linking to my site here.

This is not a game. It's a story. This is a real life story of two people. One who may be "standard" by your ideas, and the other who may be "depressed". I'm not sure what it would be for the second, but many would not consider them "standard".

Do not play this to look for a game. This is a message, from one person to another. I would rate it a full 5/5 for being true, real, not fantasy and not an escape from our real lives. But because of something mentioned towards the end I rate it 4/5. What you did will likely not help, but I applaud you for striving for something, and that is the best I think any of us can do. This is not a game, its a story and a message. The only reason you should play this is to learn the struggles everyone can face, or to help pass on the message. You nasty learn something about yourself. But do not play this looking for a game. Please don't

Please dont let the positive review just make you presume this is a good game. I've voted like this because at its core the message regarding the human condition is profound and extremely endearing.

But in substance, the game is an exploration of ostentation and pig-headedness. Through showing a unwavering inability to compromise one's views towards the expansion of themselves as a character and ineptness at accepting realities beyond your immediate surrounds - I cant really support what either party in the story stood for, how they behave or how they eventually parted ways. It makes me feel indifferent and like they were both overly expectant and self-justifying - especially in the case of Coda.

If you went beyond just accepting what the narrator was feeding you it actually became a little repugnant and unecessary and seemed forced - 6 months culminating in a message to say stop talking to me? obviously he has motives beyond getting you to stop talking to him, Im not him so I wont be a ♥♥♥♥ and say exactly what they were but there was something more inciped - but consider the case of the maze in the tower. It was a point of interest as the harsh manner that it espoused your failure with frustration showed he was just trying to inflict the same pain upon you - a pretty selfish thing if im going to be honest.

The outcomes were also petty, changing your ways because they upset you then lingering on how someone else ruined it for you was the epitome of this. Carpe Diem

I want to preface that this is not a game, as much as it is an experience with a story. Just as this review will not be as much a review as it is a tale of my personal experience. ~because honestly I don't know how to write a proper review for this game, it's something that just needs to be played to be deteremine~

Through your time in this experience you are being led through various games made by an individual. Slowly you begin having a conversation, one that you could never have with words, but by going through ones work and actions. Though, in a way it was like having a conversation with myself. I felt myself relating, and reflecting. I could see myself in this game, it no longer felt like I was moving the player, but rather experiencing pieces laid inside myself while following anothers story. My flaws, my plans, my hopes, my dreams, my failures and more... something that a player who plays this will experience the same way, and that's why I can't write a proper review.

I couldn't write a proper review because all that I experienced above will be experienced differently by the other reviews on this page, by you. So no this is not a game, and no this is not a review, this is an individual experience and I HIGHLY reccommend that you experience it too, because it'll be something that only you can really experience.

I always loved Art Always Loved good story telling and this game is EVERYTHING!
there is so much to talk about it but I just wanna say this game hits different on many aspects I had many friends... why do I even start we have all stories Right?
but remember this "knowing that how to climb a mountain and climbing a mountain its not same experience"
The point is you will read a lot of reviews that have many opinions or even maybe you watched this game on your favorite content creator stream But playing this game by yourself is something different you have to feel it understand it and this game.. there are memories we never forget, this game is one of them, play this game and may be one of that memories for you.

Важное замечание: обзор содержит спойлеры. Если вы не играли в The Beginner’s Guide, но любите нестандартные проекты, я крайне рекомендую купить и пройти её.

Начинающие писатели и режиссеры почти всегда основывают свои первые работы на автобиографическом материале. Но бывает и так, что уже состоявшиеся авторы создают произведения, пронизанные интимными переживаниями. Им необходимо раскрыться миру, показать нечто, таившееся в глубине души. В то же время столь личное произведение рискует остаться непонятым, непрочувствованным. Надо попытаться провести человека через цепочку событий, сформировавших конкретно это воспоминание, показать ему, что ты ощущал в тот момент.

Нет смысла пересказывать сюжет The Beginner’s Guide. Путешествие, экскурсия по виртуальным мирам, или, точнее, вторжение в них – так можно описать этот опыт. Игра представляет собой сборник маленьких проектов, упорядоченных по дате создания. Изучая творчество Дэви, мы создаём образ в общем-то незнакомого человека, причём он сам управляет этим процессом, комментируя происходящее. Что еще интереснее, игрок не смотрит на Дэви со стороны, а ощущает себя на его месте. Это важно для понимания игры: нам не нужно идентифицировать себя с главным персонажем, потому что мы и есть главный персонаж.

The Beginner’s Guide – это руководство к переживаниям Дэви. Он деконструирует собственные проекты, пытаясь понять, в чём состояла суть того или иного высказывания. Постепенно нарастает странное напряжение в отношениях между “прошлым” и “нынешним” Дэви – они явно не сходятся во взглядах на цели творчества. То, что игра существует, противоречит идеалам самого создателя, вот только эти идеалы успели измениться. Автор предал самого себя!

“Старый” Дэви был носителем аутистического мышления. Он боялся сцены, боялся успешных людей, не был уверен в качестве своих игр, работал не на публику, а “в стол”. Замкнувшись в себе, он использовал явления внешнего мира лишь в качестве символов, раскрывавших структуру мира внутреннего. Нам кажется, что Дэви было плохо. Его игры буквально кричат о множестве проблем. В то же время он работал на себя и для себя, а став показывать свои игры другим людям, утратил полноту самовыражения. Парадоксальная ситуация, не правда ли?

Во внутренней борьбе побеждает Дэви-экстраверт, который работает ради признания публики. Он и создал эту игру, правда, его роль ограничилась склеиванием старых проектов в единое целое. Способен ли новый Дэви сделать что-то новое? Это интересный вопрос, учитывая, что старый Дэви окончательно ушёл в 2011 году (напомню, год выхода первой версии The Stanley Parable).

Эта игра одновременно является исповедью, исследованием внутреннего конфликта и высказыванием о мнимой свободе творчества. The Beginner’s Guide сильно отличается от современных проектов, старающихся во что бы то ни стало понравиться игроку. Дэви мог бы сделать сиквел The Stanley Parable, но он делает игру про то, что волнует в первую очередь его, автора.

Может, Кода уже вернулся?

The Beginner's Guide is a powerful narrative. I don't think it's fair to discuss any element of it before playing through it in its entirety, but I want to convince people to purchase and play it with an open mind.

It's about an hour and a half long, and it's not your average game. It's a journey through creative works narrated by someone who has a deeply personal and important story to tell.

Think less of this as a game, and more as an experience. And please, play it.

Hm.... wo fange ich an...

Was mich am aller meisten an diesem Werk bewegt sind die Komentare der zahlreichen überwältigten Spieler vor mir!
Allein die ersten 3 Reviews die ich gelesen habe haben sofort zum Kauf bewegt. "sprachlos.. Tränen in den Augen.. ich sitze immer noch still und erschüttert vorm PC"

Ich habe sprachlos und tief berührt vorm PC gesessen als Stanley mich begleitete und ich stanley mich begleiten lies!

Hier allerdings gab es nur einen kleinen Moment im 2. Level der mich kurz packte und ich anfing gierig zu werden.

Leider hat es der erzähler und die Level bis zum Ende nicht geschafft mich derart mitzureißen und gerührt zurück gelassen wie mein job als Employer .. schade.

Ich versuche immer noch zu verstehen und verzweifle schon fast daran, was an diesem Spiel die vielen Menschen hier so sehr berührt und bewegt haben könnte. Ich bezweifle das dass der Zweck dieses Spiels ist. Aber ich sitze ratloser und nachdenklicher über den meisten Reviews hier als die gesamte Dauer des Spiels. In dem ich immer das Gefühl hatte.. Wann geht es los. Was willst du mir sagen. Los! erschüttere mich! lass mich heulen. Gib mir Futter zum Nachdenken und grübeln. dies empfand ich aber bis auf eine kurze Stelle viel zu fad..

Ich habe wirklich gewollt dass das Spiel mich auf diese Weise berührt. Ich liebe solche Spiele. Ich bin keineswegs pesimistisch da heran gegangen im Gegenteil. Mit über 7h Spielzeit habe ich mir bewusst Zugang zum Beweggrund dieses Spiels schaffen wollen!

Ich bewerte es negativ einmal ein wenig aus entäuschung. Und zweitens wirbt das Spiel groß und breit mit dem Slogan "Vom Macher von Stanley.." Da dieses Spiel aber in keinster Weise an die Tiefe von Stanley herankommt, ist es nicht schön Spieler mit dem Werk zu locken!

Sehr schade..

The Beginner's Guide isn't so much a game as an interactive experience, but it is a meaningful experience. It doesn't require much physical input, but it demands your attention and engagement. I've played through a few times and every time I take away something different, new and special.

Personally, I don’t care about spoilers. I don’t remember any piece of media that was ruined for me in that way. But I totally respect when someone doesn’t want to know anything beforehand. But with “The Beginner’s Guide” everyone seems to dance around it so much, that it looks like the whole story is a punchline to a joke. Chillax, the game is more complex than that, so you can discuss parts of it, without ruining the whole thing.

Technically, “The Beginner’s Guide” is a series of small games, created by a person named Coda and presented to us, players, by Davey Wreden, in chronological order with some immediate descriptions and overall narration. Davey talks a little bit about game development, but mostly about Coda himself. Very early (even in a trailer for the game) he says it’s cool when you get to know someone through their work. Why someone makes games? Why this particular game? Were they sad or happy, while making it? Etc.

Story and game itself are linear. Don’t expect something like “The Stanley Parable” here. And, actually, comparing two games is weird anyway. Don’t expect any plot twists (“I am your father!”) either — game’s story would evolve and shift focus but in a very natural way.

And that’s, basically, it. Short simple games (it’s not wrong to call them “levels”, actually), with a little bit of gameplay (you mostly walk) and voice-over narration. And the main attraction is that narration. It’s full of questions. Very interesting questions (funny, but one is about this, actually — about reviews and recommendations). And, I would argue, not a single definitive answer. For example, very early Davey outright says that he releasing Coda’s games without his consent. Is it moral? Is it even legal? Those questions are for you, player, to ponder.

Would you find in “The Beginner’s Guide” anything interesting for you, personally? Maybe. You don’t need to be a game developer to do so, maybe a little bit creative (and we all are). But maybe not. Here’s the tricky part: I’m not recommending this game for you. Yes, you. ‘Cause I don’t know you. I’m just saying that it’s good and I liked it. Do whatever you want with that information.

Как грится - круто и клёво! Хороший чувственный аттракцион. Как "Зеркало" Тарковского, или цикл "Созерцание" у Франца Кафки. Это чувстуешь, этим наслаждаешься, но голову об это ломать больно и неприятно. Лучше пусть останется приятным воспоминанием о чувстве.
Играй, не пожалеешь.

Absolutely brilliant. It's definitely a very aquired taste, especially In leiu of the style of "The Stanley Parable", for which this is a large stylistic and narrative departure. But the unique quality is there and you end up with a very surreal, twisted and emotional experience.

Это история. История о том, что все люди разные. О том, что даже если ты в чём то хорош, это не значит что по твоему идут так же другие. Игра очень короткая. Я прошёл её изучая каждый сантиметр и у меня еще было время сделать возврат. Не пожалейте времени о том, что бы вникнуть и понять, о чём говорят каждый день взрослые и прожившие жизнь люди.

Очень, очень, очень субъективная игра.
Это не The Stanley Parable с блестящим юморком, которая всем заходила на ура, а довольно печальное произведение, которое у одного человека вызовет грусть и сопереживание, а другой просто-напросто выключит.
Если вам близка проблема, которую ставит эта игра, вы проникнетесь ею, и она вам понравится.

Оценку по какой-либо шкале давать этому сложно.

Интересно, что думает об этой игре сам адресат, к которому она обращается?

Dieses Spiel ist anders...
Man wird nicht von der besten Grafik überrascht und
es hat auch keine besonderen Mechaniken...es erzählt eine Geschichte
von einem Programmierer namens Coda
Es besteht aus vielen einzelnen Spielen von ihm...
Dazu redet die altbekannte Stimme aus 'The Stanley Parable' mit uns...
Bei diesem Spiel kann man nicht einfach sagen "Ja ich empfehle es" oder eben nicht
Es ist besonders....einzigartig
Eine neue Erfahrung...
Meiner Meinung nach?
Ich mag es
Die Art einfach...

Short game, but a pretty fantastic game.

For more context on the game itself, there are theories of the game being about the dev as they were burning themselves out during the end of Stanley parable, becoming toxic to the point of his room mate hating him as mentioned in a public talk.

However a lot is left up to interpretation too.

This game felt real. When you're playing it, you're captivated by this story. You're moved by how Davey wants to keep Coda to keep making games. You see into the mind of Coda through his various games, but there might be more to it.



Spoiler time:
You see Coda's games, sure. But it feels like the the narration tells you what to think of the games. By the end you're wondering why Davey is even posting and selling this game. It feels so real, however, i feel like it's a great fabrication. I feel like whoever made this game created Davey and Coda to represent themselves and the internal struggle they feel while making games and showing them to other people.

I'd recommend this game just to see what you think it all means.

Как и предыдущая игра от Ридена, она довольно не логичная, хоть и имеет определенный сюжет. С самого начала голос автора располагает к себе игрока. Дэви проводит нас по играм своего друга, который не решается выставить их для всех. В течение всего процесса ощущается незримый диалог между этими персонажами. Риден видит в коротких играх Коды отклики на его замкнутость, отображение его проблем в реальной жизни. Игру можно пройти за раз, если садиться не в час ночи, как это сделала я, но даже на середине уже задумываешься о многом, о жизни, о том, что Риден прав, больше понимаешь людей, которые по какой-либо причине закрылись от всего, и если ты проводишь свою жизнь также, то может стать даже немного не по себе от осознания этого, может даже тяжело.

В общем, можно не читать то, что выше, игрушка классная, не то, что я ожидала, но все равно отличная.

Игра настолько семантическая, насколько для меня банан это идеальная еда, его можно есть повсюду, он вкусный, да и Декстер Морган со мной согласиться. Она вызывает совсем не привычные чувства, сначала, - эй, чувак я купил твою игру, я не хочу слушать лекции", потом-"ого, интересно, что там, ат су*а меня убило, как это может вообще может работать".
Не обычно.
Тебя бьют обухом по голове, а тебе нравитсья.
Это даже на игру не похоже, история в которой некий разработчик игр стал делать поделки для себя, как ему хотелось, а потом автор игры нам про эти мини-уровни рассказывавет и показывает их. Симулятор ходьбы.Симулятор мозговой активности. У тебя есть выбор, пожертвовать собой и спасти людей, замкнув "лазер шепота"(и даже не спрашивайте как это подано в игре)или нет, не спасать людей, остатсья жить самому, в замкнутйо комнате, с разряженым автоматом, потому что, СЮРПРИЗ, его нельзя перезарядить из-за бага, одному тут, навечно. И ты прыгаешь в лазер, а там опять баг, тебя не убивает, а ты медленно поднимаешься наверх , через текстуры. словно в рай.
Что если вся наша жизнь компиляция из багов? ощибок(я специально так написал) природы. И это только один из десятков уровней в игре. А у меня эмоций, на 5 минут рукописного текста.
Иди играй.

Great game, and very well told story. It only takes around an hour to get through it, but i think it was worth it. The triggered a bunch of thoughts and questions for myself and my life which i find very interesting for such a short game.

If you try to compare this with The Stanley Parable, just dont, they are nothing alike!

Игра-кино. Но сюжет здесь таков, что он не может быть подан никаким другим способом. Автор размышляет над тем, что такое на самом деле игры, должны ли они быть "играбельными".
Захватывающая драма. После прохождения не останется сомнений в том что игры — это искусство.

I got this game along with some other games from a humble bundle. Since it was the only game in the bundle I knew, I made a direct walkthrough right after the purchase.

Expecting it to be a "Stanley Parable-like" experience, I spent a long time finding gags in the early game, until I realized that there was actually no achievement system for this game.


---- Some Personal Ideas of the Game(Spoiler Alert)------

At first the game turned out to be a collection of interesting yet absurd thoughts presented in the form of unmature, under-developed games. The concepts were interesting, full of unruly imagination. But soon the games show a strong sense of loneliness. Coda, the creator of these games, seems to be keep illustrating his fear of being alone. And then suddenly "the machine" stopped. Coda wanted to make it move, but ended up having no choice but destroying everything that once he enjoyed. I could feel the despair from the other side of the screen.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am deeply impressed by the gloomy atomsphere the game created, especially in the second half. I don't really think I have fully understood the entire game. Maybe I would give it a second shot in the future. But not in a short time, since it takes time for me to recover, from the feeling of helplessness the game brought me.

Definitely different from Stanley Parable. Less funny but much more thoughtfulness.

Очень давно и очень случайно нашла ЭТО, минуя даже всеми восхваляемый The Stanley Parable,который обнаружила уже позже,и который,к моему удивлению,впечатления на меня не произвел. И я вот даже не знаю, почему ЭТО что-то, очень странное,совсем не похожее на игру,несуразное,местами скучное,произвело на меня ТАКОЕ впечатление. Безусловно, произведение на любителя,скорее всего, вам либо очень зайдет, либо вы запустите ее, подумаете " что за..",и сразу же удалите. Но..я рекомендую попробовать,кто знает, к чему это вас приведет

This game, no matter what you read or have seen of it before you actually play it, is nothing like that.

There are a lot of things going through my head after just wrapping up my playthrough of it, and needless to say, I feel that is the point. Not to reveal a fault in the two individuals' reationship mentioned in the game, not to publicize one's work and make $9.99 per copy from it, but to incite some sort of feeling, or multiple feelings, for those who come across this game.

I feel dirty, as if I had just paid money to experience the trauma, confusion, and loneliness of another human being. At one point I felt so submerged, as if I were the one troubling myself, and that I wasn't actually listening to a narrative. There are very relatable feelings throughout this story, ones that made my gut twist and left an unsettling taste in my mouth.

But don't get me wrong, I do not intend to make this sound negative. It is a very sad game about a very heart-wrenching experience between two friends.

Part of me is hopeful though, for the creator of this game. I hope he is able to make contact with the other individual and make amends. I am hopeful that he does not make the same mistakes that he did. I hope this reaches the other individul and that he sees that people are playing his games, and that they are giving it feedback. And mostly, I hope this review was helpful to whoever decides to read it. If you want to really feel by cause of a game, this is the one for you.

I think I need to go think about my life now...

TL;DR You're better off if you just watch a walkthrough of this game really.

It is the same guy who made The Stanley Parable, how could this game be a disappointment?!

...

Well it actually is a bit disappointing, regardless of its creator.
Now, there's literally almost NOTHING to talk about this game, because, for short, it is just a "walking simulator" as The Stanley Parable, but the main difference between this game and that one, is pretty much that little gameplay present in SP which is totally ABSENT in this game.

The plot is actually pretty nice, but i'm not going to spoil anything because if you already know the plot of this game there's literally no reason for you to buy it in the first place; let's just say that you're a player who plays someone else's games, with a narrator in the background.

...And this is where the game falls off pretty quickly. Unlike SP, where you are given a story which you can shape and remodel as you make several choices, you're left here with a really linear storyline you can't interact at all with.
This game is basically like this:
"Here's the story, walk to the end and remember to solve a few puzzles while you're at it"

This game is so OBSESSED with its unique and only story that you can actually explore a bit the surroundings of some maps, only to be told by the narrator itself that basically "doing X won't take you to Y" several times, as if it had been done just to mock off everyone who was waiting for a game akin to SP (!).

So yeah, this is a BAD game with a GOOD plot, that fails where The Stanley Parable succeeded: creating a game whose main focus was the story while still retaining some bit of entertainment and/or extra stuff and such to make you actually WANT to play the game even with its lack of proper gameplay.

In The Stanley Parable, you get to hear very hilarious humour as you make the story itself yours, familiarize with the only other character in the game and still find the usual morale at the end;
In The Beginner's Guide, all you get is jogging time with an obnoxious narrator that actually laughs at your (pitiful) attempts at finding something to make the game more... gamey.

And just for the record, one could think that comparing this game to The Stanley Parable might not be a good idea, but then again, this game would still be just a walking simulator with a story that either gets to you or bores you to death while you can't find anything else to entertain yourself with in there.

The Beginner's Guide is a surreal and immersive narrative about Davey Wreden's (Stanley Parable) developer friend, and why he retired. The way the game takes full advantage of what a medium like video games have to present is interesting, and smart.

So let me get this out of the way first and for most "Hold W to game". That's it. It's even less "gamey" than the Stanley Parable. I want people to understand this before even considering the Beginner's Guide. There's no mechanics, there's no real choice, it's very much a linear hour and a half trip being lead by Davey Wreden as the narrator. With that said, The Beginner's Guide really can't be told in any other form than through a video game.

The Beginner's Guide: Impressions + First 10 min pure, (gameplay, and review) Relevant information and links below The Beginner's Guide is the follow up to Davey Wreden's Stanley Parable.

Since the story is about Davey's developer friend, it takes you on an interactive tour through his friend's past games and levels. The game's aesthetics and concepts progressively get better and complex over time. The game is also very forth wall breaking, immersing the player into the narrative as a character in this story itself. Davey will often make reference to you, as you play through the game. It's a surreal experience, and it certainly breaks all sorts of video game norms.

If you're looking for a unique experience or just like really well told stories, The Beginner's Guide is an easy recommendation. However, if you're looking for a game, even for an off beat game, The Beginner's Guide might disappoint. As mentioned above, there's really no mechanics to speak of, other than hold W to game. In Gone Home you have to look for keys and can interact with objects all around. In The Stanley Parable you have a pseudo fail state and an Easter egg hunt for all the endings. Even in most other "Walking Simulators" you have some kind of puzzle, or obstacle along the way. Not in The Beginner's Guide. There's only 1 puzzle in the game, and that's solely there as a story element. There are dialogue choices to be made, but they have no significant (or any) effect on your game. It's very much a guided tour through an interactive narrative. It's also relatively short at an hour and a half (I finished it at exactly 91 minutes). But if you're able to focus on the quality of the experience the game tries to deliver, and willing to let go your previous conceptions of what to expect from a video game, The Beginner's Guide is top shelf material.

Overall The Beginner's Guide is a story that could only be told through a video game, yet ironically is one of the least "gamiest" game I've ever played. The story is surreal, immersive, and certainly something to be experienced for fans of great narratives, but the title of "video game" will be controversial to some on this one.

Pros:
- Amazing Story
- Good use of the medium
- Surreal and immersive

♥♥♥♥:
- Hold "W" to Game
- Less incentive to replay than The Stanley Parable

Started off intriguing, but rapidly became boring. I'm glad it's a cheap game, but I won't be playing it multiple times like Stanley Parable. I just didn't find it to be fun. It's like a movie that won an Oscar for artistic presentation, but the common person just doesn't enjoy.

An interesting but ultimately slightly hollow game. The fiction of a developer showcasing his friend's work for it's artistic interest starts off as a curious one, but quite rapidly grows sycophantic and boring.

Whilst there IS an interesting message contained within the game itself towards the end, it's not particularly thrilling or exciting, more a slow and sychophantic reveal of something that felt it could have been done quicker and with some greater level of artistry.

Not terrible, and slightly thought provoking, but not an experience I'd explicitly recommend over many other interesting and artistic experiences available on Steam.
